In theory, any of those skills used for the complementary rolls could find the answer, or a piece of the answer, directly.

The point of the 8-based roll is to imitate a cinematic montage of investigation. Both in involving each character helping out in accordance with their way of doing things, and in glossing over the details of what is going on.

You could make that stage into a full adventure instead, but it wouldn't be very Action-y. (And might involve a lot of splitting the party.)
