Paper Tiger – The Caper Fit For a Princess
We start this mission in Hong Kong, China. Let’s start by checking out the Che Kung Temple.
Talk to the woman standing alone to get a City Lead.
Then, talk to the VILE thug trying to crowdfund the opera. Head over to the black van and interact with it.
When you’re in Investigation mode, rip off the colorful flag on the side of the van. Then, open the back doors, clean out the trash, and check out the book inside.
This will get you a Suspect Clue.
Talk to the crowdfunding thug again and you’ll get a new City Lead out of them.
Next, head to the Bank Tower, where you’ll have to do a mini-game to get past the lasers. You’ll get a new Suspect Clue for your effort.
You’ll have to solve a vault door puzzle after this. Simply align all the lines to the central disc to solve this puzzle. Make sure there are no loose ends.

Once this is done and you’ve collected a City Lead, head over to the Big Buddha in Hong Kong.
Grapple to the top of the statue and do the mini-game to get another City Lead and a Suspect Clue.

Our next destination, based on the clues, is Brisbane, so head over there.
Start with the Daintree Rainforest and choose to Continue Through the Trees (the river is dangerous to traverse, as you might find in a clue elsewhere).
Next, choose to send a drone after the thug. You’ll get a new Suspect Clue.
Head over to the South Bank Parklands after this, where you’ll pickpocket a VILE thug and get a couple of City Leads.
Finally, head to the Great Barrier Reef.
The observation windows will yield some almanac facts for you.
Otherwise, head to the right to find a smartphone lying on the floor. You’ll get a Suspect Clue here. Next, head to the far left to find a power box. Sort out the mini-game to get a City Lead.
Your next destination, based on the clues, is Jaipur, India, so head there now.

Here, use your Suspect Clues to narrow down the suspect, and choose the right location based on ACME’s intel to get the thief.
