No.1 On the morning of 1 November, 2002

I was dozing on the morning of 1 November 2002 in my bed room when I heard the chime of my entrance. I heard my wife answering, “Yes”.
After a while my wife came to me and said, “The police are at the door.”
I was going to the kindergarten to submit a written application for my son on that day. My wife and I had taken our turn lining up in front of the kindergarten since the previous night because the application would be accepted in the order of arrival.
On the previous day I ran the JR Keihin-Tohoku line trains. I came to work at 9:37, left Minami-Urawa at 10:12 and returned there at 17:56 after driving about 215 km. The clock-out time was 18:24. This service is called in the worksite “diagram 11” or “schedule 11”.
I came home around 19:00 on 31 October. As my wife was waiting in line in front of the kindergarten, I went there to get my son home for dinner. Then I switched with her. Thanks to her effort our number was No.4. I remember it was very cold that night and I stood in line putting on warm clothes. As morning dawned, people from the kindergarten gave us numbered tickets, so I went home to sleep.
When I was waiting in front of the kindergarten, I heard some young men making noise. So when I learned that the police came, at first I thought they came to investigate something about the young men.
I went to see the police at the entrance in a jersey. I saw a man wearing a jacket when I opened the door a little.
“What has happened?”
“Do you know Mr. Y?”
Mr. Y is my coworker. “Yes.”
“I have a warrant to search a house. Will you have a look?”
I received the paper named warrant to search a house and looked at it. It was the first time for me to look at the warrant. I had never thought that I could have a chance to see such a paper. Then I found the words such as “Kakumaru member” (Kakumaru is a name of a faction which is known as a group of extremely leftists in Japan), a name “Y”, “East Japan Railway Workers’ Union (JREU) and my own name. What happened? I didn’t know what was what. I felt my brains muddled due to lack of sleep from the night earlier. Saying “What?”, I returned the “warrant” and opened the door. I saw six or more men standing outside the door.
