    “investigators” is plural tho so that is indeed wrong

      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.

      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.
