Just a newbie...
"Tch." Azel, accustomed to death to a degree, simply narrowed his eyes and frowned at the sight of Jin's corpse. He had come to respect the man and saw him as an Honoured Brother, and now the man was dead. It was rather tragic, but his death wouldn't be in vain. No, they would find who commited the act and the responsible party...well, he wasn't in charge of what would become of them since it wasn't his place.
Azel carefully took a look at the arrows along with Guy and others willing to investigate. "Flame arrows. Could it be that the person responsible carried them or took them from another?" he questioned.
"What are you doing?" Azel asked bluntly, looking up from what ge was examining to look at Peter evenly. If this boy was trying to rob a corpse he'd get some harsh scolding from the man.

Silque gave a small prayer for Jin, before hearing Nadeshiko scream. Turning to the girl, Silque took pity on her and kneeled beside her. "Don't stare, look away." she advised softly, not very comfortable with the sight herself.

Yuuki looked upon Jin's essence of death, His head hung low and his fist clenched, as were his teeth.
"..."
He remained silent. He briefly glanced at Peter analyzing the corpse, seeing through his words and shaking his head. Yuuki looked back at Jin's dead body, kneeling to close in.
One could visibly see his teardrops briefly falling, but his eyes hidden by his hair as his head hung low.
"M- Master? Are you alright?"
Yuuki wiped his tears, and turned around with eyes closed and a smile on his face, some extent of tears still present on the shut eyelids.
"The samurai was important to you, wasn't he..."
Kokkoro places her hand on Yuuki's back, then analyses and rises up to give Yuuki some alone time.
"We will need to identify every Flame Arrow user, and every high-rise place in the vicinity. That is the first step."
Yuuki, on the other hand, decides to see if the corpse had Jin's Windcleaver, wanting to keep it in his honour.

Jin had all personal effects on him. Weapons, Rupees, Swift Carrot...he had gone untouched in that regard. Furthermore, his body had not been moved-it had stayed put.
Ellie would find that the windmill they were on was situated on a rather steep hill. One bit of evidence seemed to be strange grooves dug into the ground.
"I think these are heel marks. It looks to me like someone jumped from the top here," Zelda said, pointing to the grooves. "And, with the Paraglider, was able to go in the direction of..." Her finger made a line from the spot to the ground below, where trees and bushes grew. "That seems close enough so that the arrows hit their mark."

"Ha! You think a little sludge is gonna get Kaito Momota down? I could run five laps around this village if I wanted!" Kaito had followed Akane to Faron Tower, not wanting to syick around the body of someone he'd known. As much as he wanted to find whoever did this, so many people were there already that it could get cluttered.
The Faron region was closest to what one could call a rainforest. Immediately arriving there, you could feel the muggy, humid air all around you, and the warmth of the sun.
Those at Faron Tower found Dell standing there, using his Sheikah Slate as a form of binoculars. "Any second now..." He glanced over his shoulder at the arrivals. "...you guys alright? You look glum."

At the Tutsuwa Nima Shrine, everyone was in a small cave. Margreet was turned away, peeking outside at the entrance, at something you couldn't see.

The shrine was orange, and completely unresponsive. All of a sudden, Jin could hear a faint rattlimg sound from behind...

"Meticulous and deliberate. How grim," Guy murmured to himself when Zelda discovered further clues, holding his chin in his hand, before proceeding to further check Jin's body just one more time for any additional wounds or notes, just in case.
Regardless of what he would or would not find, Guy stood up and stepped away, spending more time examining the scene. "So, if we were to believe that someone who owned Fire Arrows definitely did the kill, then that'd narrow it down a bit, so long as we'd be able to compile a comprehensive list of everyone who owns such arrows," he said, looking over the scene carefully, before directing his gaze over to Zelda and the others.
"If we were to construct a timeline of events in that case based on what we know, it'd be... the culprit caught Jin by surprise and shot him at the side, before also hitting him in the front. After the deed was done, they took his Paraglider and made a retreat from the top of this windmill into the ground below to rejoin the group and avoid suspicion? Does that all sound right, or is there something off about what I said?"

Teruteru was just trying to have a good time despite everything that had gone wrong up to this point
"I-I swear I didn't do it, y'all!"
Teruteru cleared his throat. "I mean... I don't even know how to shoot a bow. It'd be impossible!" The little chef thought on the crime scene for a moment and eventually reached a conclusion. "Aha!" he exclaimed, pointing to Thor. "This amazing specimen of a man looks more than capable of shooting all kinds of arrows! Maybe even two at once!"

Asher, who had largely kept to himself the last little while, did not see the significance in examining a body that could have been taken out by just about anyone in the group. Instead, he decided to join the group at Faron Tower, hoping to continue the cause that would eventually get him home.
"Aye," Asher muttered, responding to Dell, "one of us is dead. Apparently killed by one of these traitors I've heard so much about. Can't say we really know who to trust, huh?"

Enu
@Ver @Takumi @Lucky @Gummi Bunnies @Crow @Donder172 @Yun Lee
@Investigation/Shrine
Enu quietly joined Ellie temporarily, investigating the grooves on the ground near the windmill. His attention was mostly on the rough direction they may be facing, which may help him determine if the grooves indicated if whoever had made them was facing towards, or away from the windmill.
Depending on the number of culprits involved, up to two, he could imagine... Guy's theory about the glider was certainly one of the ways they could have fled the scene, but, he had to cover the other bases.
After his investigations were over, he quietly motioned after Nadeshiko and Silque, deciding to head with them to the shrine, mostly for Nadeshiko's sake though. She didn't seem to be taking the whole situation with Jin that well, and really... Enu wasn't either, but he had to stay strong; he couldn't succumb to his bad feelings. That wouldn't do him any good.
Although, as they made their way to the shrine, Enu also decided to keep a lookout for any other potential clues laying around. Naturally most of the evidence that may point to a suspect was going to be around Jin's resting place... However, if there had been multiple culprits, one would have had to flee on foot, as he doubted both could have used that glider, which meant there may have been tracks, or some traces of their activity strewn about elsewhere.
