As I wrote in No.6, after drawing up the “suspect’s statement”, the police took my pictures and detected my fingerprints in another room. It was the first time for me to be fingerprinted. I put my fingers on the machine like a copier. First, they printed every finger mark, next, open hands and then, fists (from my little finger to wrist). They worked carefully.
During the questioning, the examining officer told me “You have a visit from a lawyer, and took me to another room to meet him. He looked at a man and asked me, “Is he your private lawyer?” “Yes.” I made a guess at the answer, because I met him for the first time then.
The lawyer said, “JREU asked me to see you,” adding, “Don’t worry. Your wife is all right. JREU will take good care of her. Is there anything you have worried about?”
“About my family.”
Though he said my wife was all right, I couldn’t forget her pallid face when I was taken with handcuffs. I was really anxious about my wife. The question finished around eleven o’clock at night. The officer said, “You are going to Suginami Police Station.” I descended on the elevator with my hands cuffed and got in the car. I sat in the middle of the backseat with police officers on my both sides, and other two in the driving seat and the front seat. A car with five people started running into a nighttime street of Tokyo.
