 写真家 渡部雄吉が、昭和３３年（1958年）に茨城県水戸で発生したバラバラ殺人事件の捜査にあたる刑事に密着した作品。　刑事の二人は、警視庁捜査１課の刑事と、事件が発生した茨城県警から派遣された刑事。　戦後の空気が色濃く残る昭和の町並みを背景に、二人が聞き込み、張り込みと東京の下町を歩き回る姿が、現在の私たちにはとても斬新な世界に映ります。
　この作品は、撮影された年に雑誌で発表されましたが、それ以降、大きく取り上げられる機会はなく、まさに知る人ぞ知るといった作品でした。　２００６年にイギリスの古書のディーラーが、神保町で１２０枚にものぼるこの作品のプリントを発見したことを切っ掛けとし、２０１１年にフランスから写真集が発売され、世界中で評判になりました。
　日本版となる新たな写真集を作るにあたって、渡部雄吉の御子息である渡部浩之氏が保管していたネガをお借りし、セレクトから見直しプリントを作成しました。　すでにフランス版の「A criminal Investigation」をお持ちの方にも、新たなる発見がある構成となっています。
　

Yukichi Watabe documented the investigation of a grisly murder that had occurred in Mito (Ibaraki Prefecture) in 1958. Watabe closely followed two police detectives, one from the Metropolitan Police Department and the other local. Their investigation involved stakeouts around downtown areas of Tokyo, areas that have since changed beyond recognition.   Some photographs from the series appeared in a magazine in the same year but there was no opportunity for any further publication. As a result, the photographs were little known. In 2006, a British dealer in old books found 120 sheets of these photo works at Jinbou-chou (central Tokyo), and the work was published in Paris in 2011. This photo book, A Criminal Investigation, attracted attention all over the world.   For this new publication, we have borrowed negatives from Hiroyuki Watabe, the son of Yukichi Watabe, for a fresh selection, using prints made especially for the purpose.   Even for those who are lucky enough to possess a copy of A Criminal Investigation, the new book will come as a revelation.
