Outline

There were "a shadow man" and a called man. He was the mystery man who was familiar with various demiworld by coming and go most unexpectedly. Sometimes a company president did charitable person, that I saw the backside of the world while doing use, extortion with business by a sybaritism gentleman and the many faces and names once with an amusement once and played an active part as a popular novelist for the cause in a splash, own crime experience in the commission of the criminal.

One day the advisor to "the murder contract company" which he ran as a managing director was invited to the shadow man by a man called Suhara. The shadow man who met Suhara secretly is asked to sell an idea of the murder by Suhara and consents to this. Murder is carried out according to idea, but thereafter a shadow man disliking acts to kill a person becomes originally remote with Suhara. Suhara who bore a grudge against it asked a shadow man for the idea of the method to kill the shadow man and was going to put it into practice. Is the shadow man killed by the killing method that oneself devised?….

Commentary

I was placed in "the interesting club" of Kobunsha (1955) from January to December in 1955. One of so-called "Akechi work" which Akechi small Goro appears an excellent detective. The Akechi detective comes to appear "only for the boy detective corps series" for children afterward without letting the random walk sends this work Shigeto last, and Akechi come up in a work, and, as for this "shadow man," it is Akechi work for last adults. As for the turn of Akechi small Goro in this product, there is very few it, and, in the activity scene, the flavor does a criminal with a chief character only in solution edition of the end game, and it is the picaresque novel that I described the arrest in.

Originally chief character character in itself called "the shadow man" called "a person of art of concealment and espionage include Akechi small Goro in experts of the disguise" "I am interested in a secret of another person", and it is the collected studies of the character appearing in the random walk work such as "a monster man 20 face" "a person of walk of the garret". As for the face "Sakawa muddy spot as "a mystery novelist"," the name is the same as "the Oe muddy spot" of "the wicked animal".

In addition, it is that "a magician" developed from "a panorama island adventure tale" as for the setting such as "huge panorama building made under the pond" "I plaster a victim with a brick in the room" "iron going up and down device emerging from the pond" "murder contracting business" "a size darkroom". Furthermore, I fall into the trap of the different bad person while being the "metamorphotic" bad person whom the random walk such as the pirating of the bondage and domination says to suddenly from the beginning, and the body of the falling into enemy hands and a pervertedness such as it being are added, and it is the work of compiling it into one book of the random walk detective story in this meaning.

The random walk casts the idea of the perfect crime of murder and the body processing as a plan of "the shadow man" in these products; "raise example inside and outside "the secret room trick" mentioning again in one's own book "Chapter 5" of "the mystery" of the detective story in the text, and challenge the secret room trick which is new as the exception.
