The investigator's house is all the way right (as far as you can go).
It is in the countryside of counterfeit island.
The key is not on counterfeit island. Go into the mueseum and the person on the left will give you a package. then go to early poptropica and there will be a lady standing on the left.
get beaten up the investigators the black widow
remember the painter said that he gave the investigator a paint without a frame you look at the paint then you click on the part that is piled in the investigators house
you go out the door!
On The Country Side Of Counterfeit Island
you go to early poptropica, and go inside the gray art place. there you talk to the lady in purple and get a key. the key goes to the locked house back in counterfeit island.
Nothing. I'm not sure why they are there, but they are not from the haunted house. They are from Counterfeit Island.
The art thief is back on Counterfeit Island. As part of Counterfeit island, you don't need to do anything in Early Poptropica except get the key from the curator at the Pop Art Museum, then return to Counterfeit Island to open the Inspector's house.
Once you get the key from the curator, go back to Counterfeit island and use it at the Inspector's house.
You pull back the corner of the painting on the wall and SCREAM!
loser. YOU FAIL
