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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 child) Well, the quote specifically says "a private investigator". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] _cryptagion@anarchist.nexus 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago That's an interesting point. You are right about that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago That is simply a generic way of referring to the concept of private investigators, as I've also just done in this sentence. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Anomnomnomaly@lemmy.org 1 point 10 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
