The fact that he is unemployed and living in a rural abandoned area with blood on his hands makes him suspicious.

As they were still conversing the real culprit behind the string of officer enters the station, a demon level monster threat named Surprise-Attack Plum began attacking their establishment after shedding his delivery man disguise. He states his hatred and assault on the police was out of revenge for arresting him.

He offers to take care of the monster as a repayment for the pork cutlet.

Outside the police station where countless bystanders, the local news and a horde of heroes from the Hero Association HQ sent by the duplicitous operator McCoy; having leaked the information to the media and sent out every available upper rank hero in order to further disgrace the police station.
