Does a card played for its effect, such as Investigative Committee, count toward the check total?

Several experienced players agree; there is no official ruling.

No. Only cards played face down into the check are totaled. Cards played for their ability, before or after the check, add nothing; Investigative Committee is discarded after its text is applied, and a Reckless card played as an interrupt does not count either.
