One investigation does not help the town out, even if he found scum.  There is nothing that says this game will have a doctor,  we have to assume that we dont to be safe.   If he comes forward with one investigation, and dies the following night, we are in no better of shape then if we just luckily guessed a lynchee.   Getting multiple investigations in is what we need,  that way at least he can give us info on multiple people,  and it improves our chances of lynching the right person. 

One investigation does help the town.  One investigation could be the difference in the game.  What doesn't help us is the cop taking it to his grave.  Yes, we would be in the same shape with a lucky guess, but lucky guesses are rare, while a guilty investigation is a sure thing.

You say there is no reason to assume there is a doctor.  There is no reason to assume there is a cop either.

To both of you:

• There are no crazy sanities in this game.
• The game is a Vanilla game, so it means all the people are either Townie, Cop, Doctor or Mafia

This is a vanilla game, so it's fairly safe to assume that there is one cop, one doctor, some mafia, and some townies.

Vanilla games can be played with only mafia and townies.  Or with a cop, or a doctor, or both.  Take a look at the C9 setup here.

Zexen's statement doesn't necessarily imply that each of those roles exist in this game (although like you, I think they do).  It means that no other roles exist.

I was just applying Vetteman's logic about the doctor to the cop.
