Reygon barely sees the rock in time to try to catch it.
Dex:16
He barely manages to catch it before it hits his face. “Wow! It’s a…… Rock? Why did you just throw a rock at my face?” He raises a bovine eyebrow at his brother.
Then he looks at the rest of the group, “Yes, I think it disappearing would be good. Especially if you stealthy people can spy on them.”
"It's not just a rock. It's magic. I have another one around my neck," Ino pinches the cord between his thumb and forefinger, lifting his rock up for Reygon to see, "and if you wear yours we can communicate telepathically with the sending spell." He walks alongside Witas and Reygon, letting the others do the reconnaissance. "I made it just a few minutes ago. Hope you like it."
(So let's just figure out who's doing what. As far as I can tell, Reygon, Witas, and I are all just continuing onward and Feloren is the only one that's hanging back to scout the people following us.)

"Oh." Reygon he laughs, "It's a magic rock. Well I'm sure we'll make use of it."He untying the cord, he reties it around his neck, letting it hang just below his collar bone. "I would have liked it better if you hadn't thrown it at my face."
(As far as I can tell, that's an accurate description of what's happening.)
As the group quickly tries to blend in with the crowd of people walking about, you feel fairly confident in your ability to hide with so many people around you. Feloren, you hold back as the rest of the group keeps moving. You see the pursuers speed up trying to track the other members. The two in the middle of the streets lose the trail immediately, but you watch the third continue to tail uncannily. Everyone else, after a few minutes, you find your way to the crime scene where the first murder took place. Guards surround the mansion, and look up as you approach. "Who goes there? This is a restricted area, not a spectacle."

I will protect those I hate. Even ... even if the one I hate most ... is ... myself.
Feloren continues to hang back as the others arrive to the first crime scene, trying to get a better look at this person that continues following them: what do they look like? are they wearing any identifying clothing? what do they do once the group has stopped? are they behaving like a potential threat, or just curious?
Reygon, the guard looks at the seal intently, then looks at the other guards and shrugs. "All yours, I guess. The bedroom is up on the third floor."
Feloren, you don't see any identifying clothing, and the third more hidden pursuer is continuing to watch the group from the shadows. You can clearly see a sword and crossbow by their side. They certainly seem threatening.

In lieu of a 'Thank you,' Ino simply bows his head at the two guards standing in front of the mansion doors. He then trots up the stairs to the bedroom to which they were directed, making note of areas of interest seen along the way. Once in the bedroom, he'll make a beeline to the immediate area of the murder.
Nagas will be staying with Feloren. "That guy might be helping in the assassinations, I say we get him alone somehow and get him to answer questions." Pass Without Trace is still up by the way. "Maybe we should get them closer to the others."
Feloren nods to Nagas. "That's a good idea. We could sneak up on him with the help of your magic and corner him. I'm not sure we can get him closer to the others. If things go south, we run for the house where the others are." If Nagas agrees, Feloren tries to stealth up towards the third, more hidden, pursuer that is watching the house.
With your stealth check, Feloren, you are quite confident that this pursuer does not notice you. You can corner them, but I'll wait to say what they do so you can say how exactly you corner them and what you do.
Everyone else, the bedroom is oddly neat. The only things that are out of place are a pillow that was thrown off the bed and the window hanging open. A guard at the door expalins "We had to move the body to give it a proper burial. Other than that, the room hasn't been touched. We currently believe the assassin entered through the unlocked window, strangled him immediately, and left. We aren't sure how they got to a fourth story window."

“Some people can fly.” Reygon says in a matter of fact tone, “So our killer either has wings, or magic.”He walks over to the window and looks out. “They could also have teleported up to the window, opened it, then teleported back out.”
"They could have also rappelled down from the roof, gotten in by scaling the walls. They also could have simply walked past the guards, if they were intelligent and quiet enough," Ino adds in the same matter-of-fact tone as Reygon, moving to investigate the bed and the pillow. "But either way, repeat killers like these normally have a very specific way of murdering their victims, including how they get in to the victim's space. So looking at the other crime scenes to see what similarities there are between them would be helpful."
Witas nods and does his best to disappear in the crowd.

(Just to be clear, because it feels like people are all doing different things, Feloren is hanging back to try and find out who is following them.)

"We are here to inspect the crime scene." Reygon says cockily as he holds up the official seal that the leonin gave them.

Witas also heads to the bedroom on the 3rd floor. He carefully makes note of what he sees and he looks for any clues.
