The 'knocking' reports at Suzaki Complex No. 3, silent for two straight nights on the 28th and 29th, resumed before dawn on the 30th. The cumulative total now stands at 41 — but for the first time, the previously consistent pattern of two knocks changed to three, leaving the management association puzzled by the new variation.

The "knocking" reports at Suzaki Complex No. 3 resumed before dawn on the 30th. According to the management association, no reports came in for two straight nights on the 28th and 29th following the previously reported 27th — the second extended silence since reports began in early September. Around 2:40 a.m. on the 30th, a resident on the second floor reported one, bringing the cumulative total to 41.

Every previous report had come as a consistent pair of knocks, but this time, for the first time, it came as three. "I wasn't counting on purpose, but it felt like more than usual, and when I counted afterward it was three," the resident said. The management association said, "If even the count is changing now, we may have to rethink what the record has meant all along."

A covert patrol officer was stationed on a different floor and again detected no presence or sound. The TDA said the permeation index in the area remained at normal levels. Both the truth and the cause remain unresolved.

    The 'knocking' reports at Suzaki Complex No. 3, which fell silent before dawn on the 26th, resumed before dawn on the 27th — but this time starting from the third floor, breaking from the order of the previously reported 'second pass' that had circled sequentially from the first floor. The report brings the cumulative total to 40. The management association says, 'We expected it to start over from the beginning, but that's not what happened.'

    Suzaki Complex No. 3 'Knocking' Falls Silent Before Dawn on the 26th, a Day After the Second Pass Came Full Circle

    The pre-dawn 'knocking' reports that have continued at Suzaki Complex No. 3 produced not a single report before dawn on the 26th. As previously reported, the 'second pass' completed a full circuit from the first to the fifth floor without breaking order on the 25th — and this marks the first night without a report since the reports began in early September. The management association says it does not consider the matter over.
