July 1, Wednesday.
The morning news reported on a farce that unfolded in the courtroom yesterday, sparking widespread national discussion.
Most were angry because everyone feared being subjected to the same treatment as Noda, coerced under torture.
Especially since many had already been through it.
Legislators also spoke up, calling for a thorough investigation.
It was all a big tumultuous mess.
It had rained heavily last night, and the weather remained overcast and gloomy in the morning, with a light drizzle falling, the numerous raindrops hitting the puddles on the ground and creating ripples, like water about to boil.
At the entrance to Police Headquarters, there was a small pothole that, when driven over, caused vehicles to bounce and water to splash. Inside one such vehicle, Aoyama Xiu Xin cursed in expletives before finding a parking spot.
