No. 17 “You are not a member of Kakumaru”

I answered the prosecutor as accurately as I could. Actually I didn’t understand what he said. At that time I thought my explanation could help him understand me. But I couldn’t understand my suspicion. Little did I think that I was arrested on suspicion of the criminal act. It was a complete surprise to me. I have never experienced such a thing.

After that I went back to the Suginami Police Station. On the way the police officer who accompanied me from the morning told me, “Listening to what you said in front of the prosecutor, I believe you. As you said, I think you can’t be a culprit.”
I was arrested without knowing the reason, and since then the police had said definitively that I was Kakumaru. So, I was glad to hear his words. “He knows I did nothing criminal.” I was deeply moved and felt a little relieved.He was around 40 years of age, wearing glasses and tall. He was kind enough to answer my question politely when I asked him what would happen to me in the future. He seemed warmhearted.
