讀之前就看到台譯本被人詬病，讀完後倒也覺得不影響讀者對故事的理解，但確實是翻譯沒有很恰當。譯者應該是自己喜歡所以才自己翻譯出版的（他翻譯了2本大山誠一郎著作），看他經歷確實也是留日並曾在台灣補習班教日語，日語能力應是不容懷疑的，但是在本書翻譯裡他直接照翻了很多日語的句子、單字，造成中文讀者在句子理解上的費力，這種文字上的疏離感不是原書作者的意圖，所以他這樣翻其實是偏離了作者的寫法；例如在許多長篇句子裡，他的分句照搬日文文法的分法，沒有再針對漢語讀者進行語句調整，又或是句子時常省略主詞，這在日文很常見，但在中文會造成讀者困擾啊！更不要提在對話裡的語境上，他也是照用了日語的意思，完全沒有針對台灣讀者可以理解的方向去調整（例如長官的用語「給我...！」）。

very big fan of ooyama's red museum, short stories all about cold cases, and the organization (of two people) that solves them.
short thoughts on all stories
パンの身代金 (Ransom of Bread): Case about a murder ocurring during a ransom handover, the solution is a trope that I think Ooyama likes to use, but it leads to a surprising solution, so that was fun. The motive, however, comes out nowhere and I can't imagine anyone actually deducing it.
復讐日記 (Diary of Revenge): My favourite of the collection. The Beast Must Die/For Yoriko style story about a man wanting to get revenge for his girlfriend, whose murderer he subsequently discovers and then kills. I was pretty sure I knew what the solution was going to be, but I got taken completely by surprise, and it makes a great conclusion.
死が共犯者を別つまで (Until Death Do We Part): It was at this point I was beginning to wonder whether I was reading a Norizuki book instead, because this is a story about exchange murders. After getting into a car crash, a dying man confesses that he was involved in an exchange murder (Ooyama does something similar in one of the Alibi Cracking stories) and the protagonist has to figure out which of two possible murders he was involved in. Story feels a bit bloated, because it has to give equal attention to both of these cases, as well as the exchange murder that the man benefitted from. This is another trope that Ooyama has used before, and it's pretty cool how it's used here, overturning the reader's base assumptions. My only minor niggle is
炎 (Fire): A girl's parents and her aunt are poisoned and then their house burned. There's some real cool reinterpration of events, and it makes for a dark ending.
死に至る問い (A Fatal Question): A murder from twenty-six years is replicated exactly, leading to a really innovative whydunit with an inspired idea at its core.

看了民翻，挺有意思的五个短篇。
虽然说雪女一样的美人精英派馆长这种人设不能更脸谱化了，从微小细节倒推事件原貌这种其实挺套路的方法，竟然使用得不错。尽管都是前半截讲故事，后半截反转的路数，反转的点找得还是蛮好。最后一个故事的谜底让我想起了老早以前那个测试题：一个女子在她家人的葬礼上遇到喜欢的人，回家就杀了她姐姐，为啥？

作為本格推理，其娛樂性尚算不俗。可是，其中一篇故事結構明顯抄自「為了賴子」（詭計不同，破案點也不同），並且出現了「已經做到了這樣，還需多此一舉嗎？」的不合理之處。另一篇也有「兇嫌為何要作這樣的證詞啊？不就只是為了讓警方破案嗎？」的問題。作者說這是他的代表作，那代表他的其他作品水準也是不過如此嗎？
P.S. 翻譯水準欠佳，請預備好不時要克服閱讀障礙。

Very typical honkaku detective fiction from Oyama-san. Drawing reader's attention and engage reader to get the truth themselves. Recommend!

内容の繰り返しが多い上に、登場人物たちのセリフが説明っぽい。
平日の昼間に売れてない俳優を使って制作された二時間もののサスペンスドラマっぽい。
と思ってたら、実際このシリーズはテレビドラマ化してるらしい。
Youtubeで予告を見てみたら、物凄く火サス感。
「赤い博物館」が実在するのかと思ってググったが、架空のものらしい。
残念。綺麗な建物だけでも見られるかと思ったのに。（洋館大好き）
記憶に残らない読み捨て系のミステリ。
（これ書いてるの読み終わって4日後だが、もう何も覚えてない）

每个短篇都有意想不到的反转，但由于反转来得过于措不及防，比起惊艳反而是给我一种牵强别扭的感觉，通篇读下来甚至选不出比较喜欢的一篇，印象比较深刻的只有《复仇日记》里的假嫌疑人动机和《至死不渝的追问》里的犯人动机。我个人不太喜欢这种依赖破案人主观猜测大于凭物证进行判断的推理手法，而且有些推理里的巧合太多了，比如，这些对我来说都太牵强了，很容易让我有一种作者是设计完作案手法后再强行套几个前提去解决剧情中的bug的感觉。另外，如果要整理成一本短篇合集的话，编辑还是应该把一些重复的地方删掉吧？一模一样的绯色的外貌描述还有杀人案诉讼时间相关描写我竟然要看五遍……
