Greco is celebrated as a savior for defeating villains, yet his targets invariably perish within twenty-four hours through mutual violence among their own ranks. After provoking Greco, Lupin and his companions travel to his church. There, they discover that Greco intends to control one member of the group as a marionette to eliminate the rest. This revelation causes deep suspicion and paranoia to spread among the gang members. As trust erodes, the group must determine which individual has been manipulated by Greco to carry out the murders. The narrative focuses on the tension and uncertainty surrounding the identity of the puppeteer's chosen instrument.
