When I saw my coworker through the door of the interrogation room, I was seized with an uneasy atmosphere like dark clouds spreading over the head for a moment.
At any rate, it was incredible painful to undergo an examination. The police came one after another to the room to ask the similar questions.
“Where is the head office of JREU?”
“I don’t know.”
“You liar!”
“No. I’ve never been there.”
“How many memberships are there in JREU?”
I wondered why he asked me such a question. I didn’t know if the number of union membership was connected to my arrest!
“Do you know Mr. Matsuzaki?” Mr. Matsuzaki is a founding president of JREU.
“I’ve never talked to him personally. I have only listened to his lecture at the meeting once.”
“What is the Youth Organization of JREU?”
In this way they repeated the same questions. As I thought I would be able to go back home in a few days at that time, I obediently responded to all that I was asked.
I was asked, “Golf is your favorite sport, isn’t it?” I guessed that the police saw my golf bag in my room while searching.
“How many swings?”
“About 90.”
“You are a good golfer!”
As I was a train driver, I was asked about the train. For example, I was asked, “Why do the cars go back?”
During interrogation, I was asked, “Do you want something to drink?” I said, “No.” I don’t remember what I ate as dinner. I was so tired because I answered the same questions by interrogators who came by turns. I thought I was promised to go back to my family in return for best cooperation with the interrogators.
