  Not really. It could be they hired several for this one case.

  If a person is off the grid in Yorkshire, you wouldn’t get someone from London to go up to do something.

    Well, the quote specifically says “a private investigator”.

      that could refer to an agency. when somebody says they “hired a plumber”, it isn’t an incorrect statement if that company employs multiple plumbers, despite the quote being singular.

        That’s an interesting point. You are right about that.

  That is simply a generic way of referring to the concept of private investigators, as I’ve also just done in this sentence.

  that’s not what it means… investigator could mean a single person, investigators could mean they hired a firm to do the job and multiple people work for the firm.

  People love to look for a reason to be offended by things.
