Features: When Arsène Lupin disguised himself as an adventurer on vacation in Paris, he met a beautiful green-eyed girl who was distributing pastries to a few homeless children in a cafe. Impressed by her gentle and kind demeanor, Lupin couldn't help but praise her silently. That same evening, on the fast train from Paris to Marseille, a murder occurred. There were three victims in total—two were dressed as merchants and one was a wealthy noblewoman. Lupin was also on that train and witnessed three thugs jumping off and fleeing. One of them dropped his mask while jumping, revealing his true face. To his shock, she was the same green-eyed girl he had met earlier in the cafe, with such a kind and friendly attitude! Could such a kind-hearted girl really be a murderer? Lupin couldn't understand it.
