Reports of 'knocking' at Suzaki Daisan Housing rose from the previously reported 35 to 36. The second loop, which began on the first floor on the 21st, moved to a second-floor unit in the early hours of the 22nd, tracing the same order as the first loop. The management association says, 'It looks like it's following the same sequence, but two reports aren't enough to say for sure.'

Reports of "knocking" at Suzaki Daisan Housing rose from the previously reported 35 to 36. The latest occurred in a second-floor unit in the early hours of the 22nd — the second report of a "second loop" that began on the first floor on the 21st, after the building's five floors were each visited at least once by the 20th. It follows the same order as the first loop (first floor, then second), and the management association repeated its earlier comment: "It looks like it's following the same sequence, but two reports aren't enough to say for sure."

As previously reported, a covert patrol officer from the Patrol Guild's Tokei chapter has been joining nighttime checks, but was stationed on a different floor on the 22nd and again detected nothing at the time of the report. The permeation index remained at normal levels. No change in health effects has been reported so far.

The management association has renewed its call for residents to follow the "do not respond" guidance. The truth of the matter remains unresolved, held in reserve as before.

    Suzaki 'Knocking' Reaches 35 — After a Full Circuit of All Floors, It Starts Over on the First

    Reports of 'knocking' at Suzaki Third Housing have risen from a previously reported 34 to 35. Just a day after it was confirmed that every floor from the first to the fifth had received at least one report, the early hours of the 21st brought a report back on the first floor. The management association says, 'It looks like a full circuit that's returned to where it started, but we can't say that's a real pattern.' As before, the truth of the matter remains unresolved.
