...and now I've just accused the wrong person in one of AC Syndicate's Dreadful Crimes.
I'd successfully narrowed it down to two suspects due to the very precise timing of events and clues, but my maths (which must certainly be correct ) says that both are possible and the doctor's statement was a little too ambiguous to be helpful.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry! I've been trying to catch a giant kilima stingray for WEEKS, and not even seen a trace of one. And now that I suddenly do catch one it's star-quality, meaning I need to save it for my personal collection and can't use it for that one final vault bundle I have yet to finish. So I need to find another one. Which might take me another 3-4 weeks or so. Or maybe it'll be like the ancient fish which is also epic - I caught a star-quality one after trying for quite a while and since then I've hooked two more (one the very next day and one that got away, unfortunately).

So a giant kilima stingray!
and ...which I can't (won't) use to get the Silverwing Nest (vault prize)

I think it's done... Until I see something I didn't see yet.   

I'm off looting some chests for the daily endeavours... like everyone else.
No chest here. None here. None there etc.
Oh, there's one!
Master lock.
*snapping sound of breaking lockpick*
This might take some time so I'd better kill this nearby baddie first.
Now back to the lock.
And it's done! Off to the next chest.
Intermediate lock!
I open it up and loot it and... "Inventory Full"
So I haven't quite looted it to get the rewards. Quick let's destroy some stuff in the inventory so I can pick up the rest of the goodies...
And while I'm stood there rummaging around in my inventory bag (and everyone can see I'm rummaging in the inventory bag!) some guy sneaks in and takes the stuff out of the chest. MY chest. That I opened.


If I'd been quick enough I'd have thrown a pie at him. Or some mudballs. Or done some angry animation.
But I only thought of all that seven minutes afterwards and I'd probably have to set up the keyboard shortcut for it first.

Anyway... off to find another chest. With a Master lock.

Banj ate all the pies anyway.

Ooof!
Heartman's Lab is so very hard to get to.
And many, many thanks to the person who put this ladder in place...

 

I think they were called UnrulyOwl or something. Likey Thumbs Up for you, whatever your name is.
And yet... I didn't get the music on the journey.
Which means I'm supposed to go a different way.
I eventually went past the doctors place, through the hot spring and after much confusion, stumbling and sliding I did successfully get over the massive mountain ridge to end up on the roof of the lab. I'm now guessing that this is the "easier" way to get back.
So I suppose that the best way is further east to approach from the heart shaped lake. But that looked soooooo steep on the map.
Will have to reload the checkpoint and try again.
And maybe take my own ladder and climbing anchor.
But it is hard to take a lot of stuff when you're carrying ..erm... that kind of thing.

Ah, yes. That was a better route.
This time I planned it properly by leaving a trail of markers on the map and no ladders or climbing things were needed.

Oh, and I'd better go back and remove those signs that I'd left on that really difficult "wrong" path. I really thought I was helping people by putting arrows that led to, what turned out to be, deadly drops and unclimbable rocks.

Danged chappaa disturbed my fishing!
