What skill should we have rolled against? Strategy feels too battleground. Intelligence Analysis is about analyzing the data, not performing it.
And yes, I know we could have played in through in detail over the course of a month. That's not really how this campaign works. How do you condense it into a single roll?

You don't make it clear what action you want to roll for. Knowing there was a conspiracy (Intel Analysis), finding the location of the conspirators' meeting location (Criminology), or carrying out the arrest itself (Professional Skill: Police)?
Different skills would apply to each of those.
