摘要
在日本侦探小说中,东南亚不仅是异国神秘事件的发源地,也是复杂的历史和文化交织在一起的地方。1941年至1942年在默里居住的小栗武下太郎(Oguri Mushitaro)所写的《Kaikyo Tenchikai》就是一个例子。这部作品的一个特点是,解开小说谜团的人是见习医生井沼和侦探小说家兼媒体人小木一。他们的关系让人想起福尔摩斯和华生之间的关系,但侦探和叙述者并没有明显的区别,实际上他们的声音逐渐重叠。他们更像是间谍小说中的人物,而不是侦探小说中的人物。这一类型的另一个例子是正二由纪的《Gomez no na ha Gomez》,在这部电影中,一个被越南同化的前日本士兵出现了,他在战争结束后没有回到日本。在这里,双重间谍的主题与国家背叛的主题重叠。还有一个例子,一个战争结束后生活在亚洲的日本顽童也出现在松本清町的《Atsui Kinu》中。最终,导致太平洋战争的解放亚洲的理想与日本军事侵略带来的现实之间的分歧,给东南亚的神秘故事蒙上了复杂的阴影。
Southeast Asia as depicted in Japanese detective novels was not only a source of exotic mysteries, but also a space where complex histories and cultures were intertwined. One example is “Kaikyo Tenchikai”, written by Oguri Mushitaro, who stayed in Murray from 1941 to 1942. One feature of this work is that the people who solve the novel’s mystery are Iinuma, an apprentice doctor, and Kogure, a detective novelist and a member of the press. Their relationship is reminiscent of the one between Holmes and Watson, but the detective and the narrator are not clearly distinct, and in fact their voices gradually overlap. They are more like characters in spy novels than in detective novels. Another example of the genre is Yuki Shoji’s “Gomez no na ha Gomez”, in which a former Japanese soldier who assimilated into Vietnam appears, having not returned to Japan after the end of the war. Here, the theme of being a double agent overlaps with that of national betrayal. In one more example, a Japanese holdout from the end of the war living in Asia also appears in Matsumoto Seicho’s “Atsui Kinu”. Ultimately, the divergence between the ideal of the liberation of Asia, which was the cause of the Pacific War, and the reality brought about by the Japanese military invasion, casts a complex shadow over mysteries set in Southeast Asia.
