(Eles costumavam) seguir todas as pistas minuciosamente
Explanation:
According to the context, I believe it has the same meaning as " to hang on one's every word" .

Hanging on your every word

This means, everything you say is being thought over and absorbed by ther person reading or listening

if someone were to say, i'm hanging on your every word
it probablly means that they can't wait to hear what you are going to say and are basically looking for some possible other meaning to what you might have said
