Summary/Abstract: In the article I pose a question about the relationship between crime novel and reportage. I am not interested in a simple relation revealed in crime reportage. Rather, I am interested in showing, that a reporter, and a detective often have much in common. In terms of the way they approach a problem, and the pattern of asked questions and formulated answers. Noteworthy is also the handling of investigation as an activity, that structures the story depicted in the crime novel and in reportage. An attempt to think about the interdependence between a story based on fiction, and a story based on facts allows us to indicate the effects, that can be achieved through the use of investigation.
