The police chief couldn't help but glance back and point his thumb towards Herzen's office upon hearing this.
Arthur understood instantly, saying: "Did he arrest someone he shouldn't and was rude to that aristocrat?"
The police chief nodded slightly: "The inspector's son went crazy that day, hunting in the city and incited dogs to bite several Jews, pushing them neck-deep into slop buckets for fun. Passersby reported the incident, and my brother-in-law went to arrest him. When the inspector's son saw the police, he immediately cursed them for being slower than hunting dogs. My brother-in-law was still hungover and, upon hearing the curses, slapped the inspector's son."
