Is Arthur Robin a detective or a thief?

About Arsène Lupin's prototype design, it is generally speculated that it comes from the criminal story of Marius Jacob, who once appeared on the front page of the newspaper in March 1905, or it may refer to the gentleman thief Arthur Laibo in Octave Mirbeau's work A Psycho in Twenty-one Days, or the gentleman thief in another comedy Suspicious Man produced by Millbo. Although Ernest William Hernan, a British writer, created Arthur Rafitz as early as 1899, it is presumed that Maurice Lebron, the author, has never met him. Another way of saying it is that this series of works did not use the name Arsène Lupin at the beginning, but used Yasen Lorpin, which is a homophonic name of a real person. He was one of the Parisian city councillors at that time and became famous because of an entanglement with the municipal authorities. Later, because of this person's protest, it was changed to the present Arsène Lupin. According to the article "The Secret of the French King or the True Identity of Arsène Lupin" written by Valle Catogan in the original work "The Hollow Rock Pillar", the old gentleman told a story that he, Arsène Lupin and Maurice Lebron studied in Rouen Gao Naiyi Middle School from 1876 to 1880, and he even thought he was Arsène Lupin's half-brother. But in view of this, we can see that the real existence of Arsène Lupin needs to be studied. However, literature is an artist's creation after all. No matter whether Arsène Lupin has the shadow of realism or not, as a typical artistic image created by writer Maurice Lebron, Arsène Lupin naturally has his extremely obvious characteristics.

Arsene Raoul Lupin was born in 1874 French Boulevard. His father, Theophraste Robin, is a gymnastics, fencing and boxing teacher and a Japanese boxing master. He is honest but poor. When Yasen was still nursing, his father taught him boxing and sports, which is why Arsène Lupin is good at Japanese boxing. Unfortunately, his father died when Arsène Lupin was three or four years old-some people said that Theo Flaster Robin was actually a liar. He cheated Robin's mother, Henriette Dandeleux, with his strong body and eloped with him. But Henriette Dundridge soon found himself a liar and a thief, so he left his father Theo Flaster Robin and young Arsène Lupin to live independently. Mother Henriette Dangdeleqi was born in a noble family, because she married Aufra Lester Robin, a civilian teacher, and was at odds with her family. Widowed, forced by family pressure, she resumed using Dandeleux's noble surname, and died when Arsène Lupin was twelve or thirteen. The tragic experience of his mother also became the reason why Arsène Lupin despised and rebelled against aristocrats, but at the same time, he developed a negative source of thoughts that he yearned for aristocratic life and hoped to be a marquis. Theo Flaster Robin immigrated to the United States after his father died. But before he immigrated, he trained Arsène Lupin to learn martial arts. Theophraste Robin was later arrested in the United States and eventually died in prison (the exact year is unknown); Robin and his mother did not return to the Deleuze family, but were "taken in" by Countess Deleuze Subitz, the heiress of Deleuze Subitz family (Arsène Lupin's mother's girlfriend when she was boarding at the monastery) as private maids and sewing workers.

However, Arsène Lupin's mother was severely criticized and insulted by the countess here. Three years later, 6-year-old Arsène Lupin stole the diamond necklace that Dele Subitz's family regarded as life, and no one found out the truth afterwards, which became the first case made in Arsène Lupin. But Henrietta was driven out of the house by the countess as the object of resentment and accusation. Mother and son lived a hard life in a remote village (another said they grew up in the Latin quarter of Paris University District). When his mother was ill, Arsène Lupin tried to sell her jewels to save her, or at least alleviate her dying pain. Mother was crushed by illness. She died. From then on, Arsène Lupin was raised by the kind nurse Bikdiva. About this story, the author actually implies a traditional western model-punishment for original sin. Arsène Lupin's father is an evil thief, and all his sins are borne by Arsène Lupin, who was born with original sin. Arsène Lupin's unfair treatment directly prompted him to become a thief, so he reciprocated, which became Arsène Lupin's inevitable tragic complex.

In college, Arsène Lupin majored in electricity and studied law at the same time, and learned magic from magician Gixon under the pseudonym of roster. He also studied surgery with Professor Alcais in St. Louis Hospital (he gained some knowledge of cosmetic surgery from medicine); Robin broke into Ambel's safe when he graduated from college, which was one of his early cases (see the novel Arsène Lupin, the thief of a gentleman-Ms. Ambel's safe). He is proficient in Latin and Greek, and he is gifted at languages, but more than that, the most important thing is that he is also proficient in fighting skills (his father is a boxing and gymnastics coach, and he is also an interception coach), which enables him to easily deal with any role in any situation. He is also an art connoisseur. He has a deep understanding of art and a strong appreciation of oil painting. I had never been in love before I was twenty. I don't lack opportunities, I just don't have time. He is ambitious, but he doesn't know where and how to realize his dreams of beauty, wealth and power. He spared no effort in all aspects and was always ready to respond to the call of fate. He tries his best to cultivate all kinds of talents: intelligence, thought, will, physical flexibility, muscle strength, flexibility and endurance. He was surprised to find that these talents can develop infinitely as long as they work hard. He must live, but he has no source. He is an orphan, living alone, with no friends, no relatives and no job. But he survived. People always try their best to live, and always deal with diet according to the situation. "I will have good luck," he thought. "Go ahead. What should be there will be in the future. I think the future is beautiful. " (For related stories, please refer to Arsène Lupin's self-memory in the novel "Revenge of Countess Kallio Ostro". )

Later, she became pregnant with their daughter Jenny Pi Bo, who was raised by her mother. 1894 From April to August, Arsène Lupin met a female thief, Josephine Pasha (later called Countess Kallio Ostro), who later became her lover, and Josephine had already heard of Robin's name.

Hollow needle; 3. The mystery of the sacred stone of Bohemian king; 4. Lori's treasure.

So in June 5438+10, he unilaterally married clarice Detig in the name of Viscount Raoul Dandeleux, and their first daughter died shortly after birth. Because of his love for clarice, Robin is more cautious in criminal activities. He solved the secret of the "hollow rock pillar" and began to use it as the headquarters (for related stories, see the novel "Empty Sword Peak"). The second son, John, was kidnapped by the revengeful Countess Cario Ostro on the third day after his birth. Clarice died after giving birth to a child, and the happy life only lasted until the beginning of the sixth year (for related stories, see Arsène Lupin's self-memory in the novel "Revenge of Countess Caglio Ostro"). 190 1 year, the second daughter Geneviel Fu was born.

Arsène Lupin met Nelly while stealing from Chivermini Castle, but more importantly, he met Sherlock Holmes for the first time. The meeting between Holmes and Arsène Lupin lasted only a few minutes. Holmes didn't realize that it was Robin in front of him. Sherlock Holmes was invited to look for an ancient secret passage. He successfully solved the secret passage, only to find that Robin had entered the castle from the secret passage the night before, and stole the treasure first (he returned it the next day because of Nelly), and Arsène Lupin had expected that Holmes could easily solve the secret passage. To show respect and appreciation, he sent a car to wait for Holmes at the exit of the secret passage. The meeting marked the beginning of the relationship between the two characters as rivals. As Arsène Lupin later admitted to Maurice Lebron, when he met Sherlock Holmes, he felt completely seen through and realized that if they met again, no matter how well he disguised himself, Holmes could recognize him (for related stories, see the novel Arsène Lupin the Thief-Sherlock Holmes later); From September to 65438+February, I met another powerful opponent-the unsympathetic congressman Dai Buick.

This talk about the enemy is very speculative, so that readers can see that although the law makes them enemies, they can become friends under different circumstances. Holmes finally found out that Robin used the secret passage in the house he designed in the name of Marquette Beaumont in 1896. But in the end, Holmes was defeated by Arsène Lupin, and even Dr. Watson broke his arm (see the novel Goldilocks for related stories).

He heard that the German emperor kessel invited Holmes, but the detective failed to solve the mystery. In August, kessel arranged for Robin's release. Arsène Lupin finally found the answer, but l m beat him to it, but Arsène Lupin got to know the German emperor through this case. After returning to France, Arsène Lupin finally defeated L.M.

At the same time, Countess Kallio Ostro died in Corsica, but left a plan of revenge on Robin.

19 19 Arsène Lupin solved the tiger tooth case as Don Louis Perez, which is the most "golden age" novel in Grand Theft Auto Arsène Lupin series. The story is a "secret room murder case" in a typical family castle. Since then, Maurice Lebron has gradually changed his thriller style and unveiled the mystery of The Golden Age. In September, Robin married Florance Levaseux. This is what he met in this adventure. Later, he retired to the countryside. (For related stories, see the novel Tiger Tooth).

He traveled in the Netherlands before July 1927, and returned to Vezi in July 1 2007 to investigate the death of Elizabeth Garvey, and rescued his son John, but didn't tell him the truth (the above story comes from the novel Revenge of Countess Kallio Ostro). Since then, the old man Arsène Lupin has become more and more satisfied. He didn't risk breaking the law, but concentrated on being a detective. During this period, he cooperated with the French Security Bureau detective Beshu, who was both a friend and an enemy, and cracked several major cases that were once sensational, such as the mysterious "Houlang Bay" where the dead killed the living, and the "Martian" murder case with scientific fantasy-"Three Eyes".
