掟上今日子的辭職信

忘却探偵 #5

by NisiOisiN, 西尾維新, VOFAN (Illustrator)

你是怎麼離開工作崗位
就會怎麼走下人生舞台
－－今 天 過 後 不 再 見－－

掟上今日子。二十五歲。偵探－－
支解 × 打從心底對她感到敬畏的佐和澤警部。
墜落 × 第一次和她共同偵辦疑案的鬼庭警部。
絞殺 × 光看到她就怒氣上心頭的山野邊警部。
溺水 × 託付她職涯之最後工作的波止場警部。
面對令人髮指的殘酷犯罪，她們目擊的真相又為何？

支離破碎的是人心。收拾不了的是人性。
嘴上說著想記得，結果全部都忘記……
「真是的，所以我才－－討厭今日子小姐呀。」

Reviews

[ツバキ · Rating 4 out of 5]

這次是四個事件，每篇今日子的搭檔都是女性警察，其實每次跟今日子對應的視點主人都是男性，我一直都滿好奇女性到底會怎麼看待今日子這個人，沒想到會出現以女性警察為視點的集數。而且意外地作者的女性視點的描寫也沒有讓人覺得很突兀很奇怪的地方，算是滿自然的。

然後這集的主題都是屍體呈現方式，因為我很喜歡西澤保彥的《解體諸因》，所以很喜歡這種圍繞在屍體上的謎團。個人最喜歡第一篇的《掟上今日子與支解的屍體》，雖然作者的提示明顯到我中間就猜出答案了。
