Faced with an emperor who had principles, Adonis was helpless too. If they were not allowed to make arrests, how were they supposed to continue the investigation?
Anyone who plotted an assassination would distance themselves from it at the first opportunity. If they were truly exposed, there would be no place for them anywhere in the world.
To say nothing else, not a single assassin was Jewish. In Adonis's eyes, that was the greatest point of suspicion.
Logically speaking, as the victims, the Jews should have hated Napoleon IV the most. It would have been perfectly normal for some dragon-slaying hero to emerge.
Unfortunately, an unorganized assassination would never get anywhere near Napoleon IV before the police took it down. The Police Ministry was not truly useless.
As far as Adonis knew, since the anti-Jewish movement began, the Police Ministry had arrested more than four figures' worth of Jewish assassins and suspected assassins in dribs and drabs.
Without question, some of those people had been wrongly accused. They may indeed have had motives, but the warriors who actually dared assassinate an emperor were absolutely few and far between.
Looking at the disappointed Police Minister, Napoleon IV had a headache as well. It was not that he wanted to keep faith with the Jews; he was completely forced into it.
Raising the butcher's blade was easy—but what if it could not kill anyone?
Jewish capital had penetrated the French Government far more deeply than it had Austria. The moment the Paris Government decided to flip the table, someone leaked the news.
Before the government could even order arrests, those cunning financiers had already fled, seven or eight out of ten.
The big fish had all escaped. Even if they caught the little shrimp left behind, they could not squeeze enough oil
