Cookie Detective: The Butter Painting Affair is a special event in Cookie Run: Ovenbreak. It is the third Cookie Detective event, focusing on Walnut Cookie and Almond Cookie's investigation of a missing masterpiece painting from the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum. Chapter 1 was released on May 28, 2021, coinciding with the release of Butter Pretzel Cookie, while Chapter 2 released on June 18, 2021, coinciding with the release of Almond Cookie.

Overview

Throughout the event, players collect Case Notes in order to interrogate Cookies and collect their testimonies. Case Notes can be found in Breakout, Cookie Trials, and Trophy Race, appearing more often in Trophy Race or while running with Butter Pretzel Cookie in Chapter 1 or Almond Cookie in Chapter 2. Case Notes can also be earned by completing Missions. Once at least 400 non-Mission Case Notes have been collected in one Round, Case Notes will appear less frequently until the start of the next Round.

Players can only interrogate Suspects with one line of questioning per Round, costing 10 Case Notes per interrogation in Chapter 1, and 15 Case Notes in Chapter 2. By collecting testimonies, players gain information that help them deduce the identities of the Suspects. Before the end of the Round, players must choose which of the Suspects they want to detain. They may change their decision any number of times before the Round's end, but must wait 10 minutes before they can do so. Players cannot vote for any Cookies that have been previously detained.

At the end of the Round, the Cookie with the most votes by players is detained, and players then see whether the detained Suspect is either Innocent or Guilty. If a Guilty Suspect is successfully detained, the story will continue, and all players will be rewarded 300 Crystals; however, if a suspect is wrongfully accused, "Someone's Thoughts" will hint towards the Guilty Suspect's identity. In Chapter 1, there are 16 Cookies to investigate, with 6 of them being the Culprits; Chapter 2 investigates 7 Cookies, with 3 of them being the Culprits.

Chapter 1 consists of 8 Rounds, while Chapter 2 consists of 5 Rounds, with each Round lasting for 2 days. At the end of each Chapter, each player is rewarded 200 Rainbow Cubes for each Guilty Suspect they voted for.

Story

Chapter 1

The Butter Painting Affair: Pt.1 The office is really quiet today. It's a bit boring, but that's a good thing! That means there's no crime, hehe! Cookie Herald! Exclusive scoop! Oh! OH! Hi, Walnut Cookie! Check out today's exciting news!! "Roguefort Cookie, Arrested." Huh? Wait...WHAT?! "Grand opening... museum... masterpiece painting... stolen... Almond Cookie leading investigation...? Successful arrest of main suspect: Roguefort Cookie?!" Roguefort Cookie was arrested?! And is in custody right now? I have to get the station, immediately! *Fades in to Almond Cookie's office* I wish to learn more details about the museum heist mentioned in today's news! Sigh* The press got wind of it, eh...? There's nothing to tell really. Roguefort Cookie was successfully apprehended, end of story. But I've been investigating Roguefort Cookie's schemes from the very beginning! You know I was in the middle of- (Sets coffee down.) And THAT is exactly the reason why I personally requested to be assigned to this case. You are out of your league to think that you could take on Roguefort Cookie on your own. I'll be the one to wrap up this investigation, so get yourself home. You're still much too young to handle a real case like this. ...Then, please, at least let me hear the case's details! ...Very well. *flashback to Hors d'Oeuvre Museum* Ever heard of Butter Pretzel Cookie? The genius painter, the illustrious portraitist? Yes, I recall seeing her name in the papers before... Well, her second grand masterpiece was supposed to be unveiled at the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum. But when they removed the cloth... The canvas was missing. Did Roguefort Cookie send out a calling card beforehand? No, but there were abundant traces of blue cheese mold at the scene. Witness reports also put Roguefort Cookie near the scene of the crime, skulking about in the shadows. (But... Roguefort Cookie always leaves a calling card!) (These details don't add up... Roguefort Cookie isn't some careless burglar who leaves obvious traces behind.) I need to speak with Roguefort Cookie! Don't make me repeat myself. Roguefort Cookie is dangerous. Leaves this to the adults and- You said there's no such thing as a child or an adult when it comes to being a great detective! I did say that, didn't I? ... But no, this is too dangerous. I'm putting my foot down. I'm not just investigating! I'm just going to talk. A conversation, that much can be arranged, can't it? I know that any cases involving Roguefort Cookie mean a lot to you... Pleeease. Just once! Please? ... Very well. But on one condition. You stick with me at all times, kiddo. Come with me. *fades back to Almond Cookie's office* Well, well, well! ♪ If it isn't our very own starry-eyed, little detective! Pleased to make your acquaintance once again. You're in no position to be making a joke of this situation! Out with the truth, now! Did you steal that painting? Why so serious, young gumshoe? Regardless of what I say, I do have a hunch that Detective Almond Cookie will be far from convinced. But I will let you in on this! You know my methods! Would I leave behind such a disastrous trail? I most certainly would not steal something in such crude fashion. ♪ Keep your wits about you, kiddo. When you look at it objectively, it means that Roguefort Cookie knows the ins and outs of that museum. *Sigh* To think that a member of Blue Cheese manor could stoop to petty theft... ... How intriguing. I did not expect for you to bring up my family's name. This case smells fishy... or cheesy. I have a hunch that Roguefort Cookie isn't the true culprit! Then the truth lies in your hands, little detective. ♪ After all, hunches should not be easily ignored, should they? I can't believe I'm saying this... Roguefort Cookie is right! This isn't an open and shut case, it should be re-opened immediately! I formally request that all Cookies present for the unveiling be called in to provide additional statements! Absolutely not, young lady. You gave me your word that you wouldn't be investigating this matter. ... I-I'm sorry for not staying true to that promise. But from one detective to another, please trust me! I've never asked for anything this big! Please! *Sigh* Walnut Cookie. You know I do not doubt your abilities as a detective. But a case like this, it's a doozy even for veteran investigators. And to re-open it now? The paperwork alone is going to be a nightmare... I need to know. Are you willing to take full responsibility of your actions? I will! I promise! And on my honor as a detective, I will apprehend the true culprit! ... Very well then. Let me make a few calls first and then I'll see to getting all the witnesses back to the museum. Thank you! THANK YOU! Roguefort Cookie... You're not off the hook yet. As our primary suspect, you will be detained here until the re-opened investigation is completed. Oh, I dare not make an attempt to flee at this point! I look so forward to the efforts of this detective duo! Instead of a phone call, may I have some popcorn and watch your endeavors? ♪ *fades in to the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum's interior* Disastrous! The pristine reputation of the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum, sundered into a million curds! We will never recover from this! I... I will never recover from this! Just look at it! That... VOID! It's gone! Poof! Like crumbs in a forest! STOLEN! *SOB* Please, I beg of you! For all that is good in this world...! Please recover Butter Pretzel Cookie's masterpiece! Many a sleepless night have I spent on that painting. And to what end...? Butter Pretzel Cookie. Curator Emmental Cheese! Do not worry! I am on the case and I promise to recover it quickly! Judging from those footsteps, it sounds like our last witness is here. Walnut Cookie, let's go. *moments later* Oh my goodness! Just look at you! How adorable! I see that Detective Almond Cookie isn't working alone today! I was wondering why someone so uninterested in this museum's grand collection called me back here! Thank you for your cooperation, Truffle Cookie. We've re-opened the investigation and called all witnesses back to the museum. It's perfectly fine, deary. I am very curious about Butter Pretzel Cookie's art. Everyone is gathered! With that, the investigation will begin! Let us crack this so-called butter painting affair! But, erm. Before we start, can I get one thing straight first? So you, er, paint... with butter. Must I explain it as if I am telling a child- Oh... You are a chil- Ahem! Butter accepts the canvas as its new home, stacking and layering itself to create a striking image. I am the inventor and sole practitioner of this technique! That's quite an explanation. I will admit that I decided to omit the painting technique from my detective's notes... Growing up comes with learning, not knowing. Besides... you weren't the one originally assigned to this case. Er... Sure. What he said. When I was your age, my hands were already flowing across the canvas to sketch the beauty around me. Since you're not an artist, I will refrain from reprimanding your mundane knowledge of art. Where are the other paintings? They might be targets for our unknown thief as well! I thought I recognized you, hehe! No need to worry about that! They're safe at my mansion. The paintings smelled so fragrant, I decided to buy them all! Once again, my good Cheesecake Cookie, my works of art are not to be admired by the nose! Oh, but of course! The rich shades of color, the robust textures jumping out of the painting! So very grand! Your paintings truly are equal to the beauty of nature! To think that a masterpiece by an artist of your caliber was stolen...! Oh, it just brings me to tears! The thieves most definitely do not understand its true value! I thought it was just like... art. The stolen painting must be super impressive? The cost of that painting... I'd be able to buy ten lifetimes of coffee with that price tag... I find your lack of knowledge about art... disturbing. It does not sit well with me that the fate of my missing painting is in your hands. Now now, Butter Pretzel Cookie! Everything will work out and we'll find that painting without fail. The party was perfect... We didn't even get to start it... Many cookies were waiting for its unveiling... I hope we find it soon. Curator Emmental Cheese! On my honor as a detective, I will find that painting! The Butter Painting Affair: Pt.2 Is everyone here? Good. Listen up, everyone! Our investigation has unveiled the truth! This is what happened! *Fades in to the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum* (That night...) Thank you for helping out, Lemon Cookie! Now we just need to clean the floor around the painting! Sure. But after this, I'm gone. Whipped Cream Cookie, Carol Cookie! Thank you for going through with the rehearsal from start to finish! Tomorrow's party is going to be absolutely flawless- Huh? Hello? Oh yes! Preparations for the party are going very well and on schedule! May I help you with something else? ...... !!! Oh? May I ask why? ...! ... ...! ...?! Right now?! OK, understood! *Fades out to black, then fades back to the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum again.* ... Something wrong, Birthday Cake Cookie? You don't look too good... Oh, it's nothing! I just needed to sort some things out in my head...! I was wondering if I could... But then if I didn't, that Cookie might... Oooh, I just don't know. I just want to prepare the perfect party... Oh well, this can't be helped! ...Lemon Cookie, can you help me move this painting? Huh? Didn't you say we're almost done with all the party prep? Just one final detail to perfect. But I can't move this thing on my own... Hmph... Sure. Where to? *Fades out to black, then fades back to the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum again.* Birthday Cake Cookie probably thinks that we already left. But no! True art is driven by inspiration, and I have just been inspired! I am so glad to participate tomorrow! Our performance will be fitting for the unveiling of such a masterpiece! Oh look! Lemon Cookie and Birthday Cake Cookie are heading off somewhere? What are they carrying? Is that a painting? Oh, you're still here! We're just putting this in the warehouse near the garden. This needs to be moved to make our party absolutely perfect... That looks heavy... Need some help? Thank you! Yes, let's lend them a hand! How may we help you? Whipped Cream Cookie, could you grab that end? This butter painting is super delicate, so we must be careful! Carol Cookie! Could you please keep a lookout for any wandering Cookies? I don't want anyone to see the party before it's finished! *Fades out to black, then fades in outside of the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum.* Urghf...! This canvas is huge... and rather heavy! Is that the warehouse over there? Just a little bit further...! Hey, someone's watching us from those shrubs! Oh... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to startle you... It's just me, Strawberry Cookie. Herb Cookie and I were strolling through the garden and... then I got lost... Oh! Then why don't you tag along? We're going back to the museum once we move this painting. Oh, but if Strawberry Cookie tags along... My perfect plan... Can I...? Please? It's getting dark and I'm cold... and scared... OK! But nothing happened here, all right? Thanks...! But... can I help in any way? Oh, then could you go to the warehouse and make some room for this painting? OK...! *Fades out to black, then fades in outside of the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum again.* I can't see a thing in here... I feel like something is m-m-moving... Is s-s-someone there?! Who are you?! Are you on a heist as well? Well, are ya?! Strawberry Cookie! Are you all right? Where'd all of you come from? Are you here to steal things I already called dibs on?! We're just here to move a painting. PSH! That sounds BORING! Oh well... Might as well sneak into the museum now... WAAAIT! What are you moving? It smells so fragrant and... buttery! The scent just screams VALUABLE! Is that from the museum? Try'na take it for your own, is that it?! Gimme! GIMME! ...Seriously? Any painting from this museum has GOTTA be worth a lot of Coins! Get yer hands off it, it's mine now! Chili Pepper Cookie... If you take this painting... I-I-erm... I won't forgive you! This thing was painted with butter, so it's real delicate and fragile. Plus, it's super heavy... You won't be able to move it on your own. Has anyone ever told you that you have a... a sorta creepy stare...? PFFT! Fine then... Sounds like too much work anyway! Wait! Have you taken a look at this entire warehouse? Of course! I was staking it out from top to bottom! There's nothing but junk in there! Splendid! Can you tell us where this painting could be stored? We promise we won't tell anyone you were here! Why should I?! I'm busy trying to stea- I mean, find some treasure! If you don't help, we're calling the cops. HMPH! You're such a killjoy... FINE! There's an empty spot under that window over there. Thanks, Chili Pepper Cookie! You're not so bad... Quit smiling all warm and nice like that! We done here then? I'm out! PHEW! We're done moving the painting! I think we can call it a day! See you tomorrow..! I'm looking forward to the party. *Fades out to black, then fades back to the current moment.* These were the turn of events on that fateful night! The case has been solved without a hitch! Birthday Cake Cookie! Why did you move that painting? You of all Cookies wanted this party to go perfectly! But that's the exact reason why I did it... The painting needed to be moved... Did the Cookie who called you that night tell you to move the painting? Oh... That's... With the state of things, there's little point in finding the painting now. This entire exhibition is more spoiled than rancid butter...! TSK! This is why heists should be left to the professionals! Oooh, but this is the perfect chance to take that painting! Everyone's too busy arguing, hehehe! Chili Pepper Cookie is making a run for it! Everyone! STOP HER!! *Fades out to black, then fades back outside of the Hors d'Oeuvre Museum.* She's entered the warehouse! The audacity...! To place my painting in this rubbish pile of a warehouse! Well now, lookie here! They really put it smack dab under the window like I told them to! Walnut Cookie, watch your step. Try not to trip and fall. Hey er... Good, you're here! Is this the so-called... masterpiece? For the love of doughkind how could this be?! RUINATION! I am trapped within a nightmare! The painting... It's... *Fades to black* To be continued in Chapter 2...

Chapter 2

Secret of the Slashed Painting: Pt.1 Hey er... Good, you're here! Is this the so-called... masterpiece? For the love of doughkind how could this be?! RUINATION! I am trapped within a nightmare! The painting... It's... I knew it! Roguefort Cookie wasn't behind this plot! That Cookie makes every effort to steal precious items, not ruin them! I just got off the phone with the station... Roguefort Cookie is still in custody, hasn't even budged... You were right, Walnut Cookie. Birthday Cake Cookie! What happened? How could this... HOW?! I-I-I don't know! I was asked to move the painting to somewhere secluded! That's it, I swear! So I just moved it to this quiet warehouse... Walnut Cookie, let's take this one step at a time. Birthday Cake Cookie looks just as shocked as us. Yes... Yes, of course. But how could such a horrid thing happen... All that time and effort, wasted. I poured my soul into this exhibition and... I can't even... Seeing this torn canvas... It's as if my own heart was shredded by the seams! Torn apart by sadness and despair. How atrocious! *SOB* Is there no way to stop these tears of sorrow and pain! OH, cruel world! Who'd dare commit such heinous vandalism?! ... This is messier than a broken coffee pot on a Monday... Everyone, please remain calm. This investigation is still ongoing! *Fade out, then back* Butter Pretzel Cookie and the curator look so sad. We have to find the culprit and bring them to justice...! Did I grow too overconfident? The cases I've solved, were they all a fluke...? Maybe I really am in over my head... ... I've failed this investigation... I guess I still have a long way to go in becoming a great detective... ... You know what makes a great detective? They never give up. They never surrender. They pursue all leads until they solve the case. Your case record speaks for itself. I know that you don't give up whatever the odds, no matter how flimsy the leads are. So why give up now? Wait... You've been keeping tabs on me? You know about all of my cases? Since the very beginning. I have faith that you'll solve this, just like the others. This time, I'll be right here with you. ... Do you really think I can solve this case? Yes! YES! Please, arrest those responsible for such a shameful act of terror on such a masterpiece! What if the other paintings are vandalized?! I shudder at even the thought of it...! Please, help protect our museum! I beg you! ... Yes! I'll see this case until the very end! There's still heaps of clues to be found! Thank you, both of you. I formally request all Cookies present to be gathered once more to provide additional testimony in this case!

	Butter Pretzel Cookie	"I left it in the care of Birthday Cake Cookie."
	Mustard Cookie	"Why am I supposed to pay Coins to see art? You shouldn't have to pay to see art!"
	Truffle Cookie	"I absolutely had to see this painting for myself."
	Birthday Cake Cookie	"I left it hanging in the center of the exhibit and went home."
	Carol Cookie	"I saw it hanging on a wall"
	Whipped Cream Cookie	"It was covered by a white piece of cloth."
	Gumball Cookie	"Nope! Never seen it, ever! Didn't set foot inside that museum."
	Chili Pepper Cookie	"This is so dull and boring...! Hey! Why don't you just arrest me, so I can run away and actually have some fun!"

Do you know the butter technique?
	Mint Choco Cookie	"I have heard Cheesecake Cookie mention this form of art before."
	Rockstar Cookie	"That's got nothing to do with rock n' roll, right?"
	Strawberry Cookie	"I've never heard of it... But it sounds delicious?"
	Cheesecake Cookie	"Of course! I saw its true value straight away! I gave her some of the richest beurre and now her paintings smell even better!"
	Angel Cookie	"What is that...? I don't know..."
	Firecracker Cookie	"Ooooh! Birthday Cake Cookie told me it's a super important painting!"
	Herb Cookie	"Strawberry Cookie told me about it! She said it smells wonderful!"
	Butter Pretzel Cookie	"Are you kidding?! I'm the one who invented it!"
	Mustard Cookie	"All I know is that there are paintings being shown off."
	Truffle Cookie	"I know that Butter Pretzel Cookie's paintings are crafted expertly with butter."
	Birthday Cake Cookie	"I was looking for a painting to hang up. And that's when I saw it! It was very nice!"
	Carol Cookie	"All forms of art are beautiful."
	Whipped Cream Cookie	"It leaves a very unique and almost unforgettable aroma."
	Gumball Cookie	"Oh, how "FANCY..." Many shades of buttery yellow... Oh "wow." Pffft!"
	Lemon Cookie	"Butter painting? And that should matter to me... because...?"
	Chili Pepper Cookie	"Painting with butter? Can't say I'm a fan!"

Which Cookie do you suspect?
	Mint Choco Cookie	"Perhaps a Cookie who can go in and out the museum at their leisure?"
	Rockstar Cookie	"I dunno. Ask Lemon Cookie? I know he was busy cleaning and covering paintings with blankets and stuff all day."
	Cheesecake Cookie	"That painting was probably very heavy... It couldn't have been moved alone?"
	Angel Cookie	"All Cookies are kind... Can I go home now...?"
	Firecracker Cookie	"Maybe the suspect loves firecrackers! Next time, I'll bring LOTS and LOTS of 'em!"
	Herb Cookie	"Maybe a Cookie who was close to the museum?"
	Butter Pretzel Cookie	"Everyone is suspicious..."
	Mustard Cookie	"Why not question a Cookie who's actually into this type of art?"
	Truffle Cookie	"Doubt leads to suspicion. Perhaps a Cookie close to our illustrious Butter Pretzel Cookie?
	Birthday Cake Cookie	"Maybe one of Butter Pretzel Cookie's competitors?"
	Carol Cookie	"It could not be a Cookie with true passion for the arts."
	Strawberry Cookie	"Maybe the Cookie who did this wasn't afraid of anything..."
	Whipped Cream Cookie	"I don't want to blame anyone..."
	Gumball Cookie	"Who cares?! I'm just glad my masterpieces can't be stolen!"
	Lemon Cookie	"I don't trust anyone or anything."
	Chili Pepper Cookie	"You're not suspecting me, are ya? If I stole it, I'd be halfway across the city by now!"

Chapter 2

Have you been to the garden?
	Angel Cookie	"Roaming outside the museum took longer than expected... I did not make it to the garden..."
	Butter Pretzel Cookie	"The garden... The perfect spot for some inspiration."
	Herb Cookie	"It's such. beautiful garden... I feel so comfortable there."
	Mustard Cookie	*Sigh* "Again, I'm on an errand for Grams and cutting through there is a good shortcut to take back."
	Gumball Cookie	"Been there a few times, but it's boring! That place is so bland and normal, doesn't fit my vibe!
	Rockstar Cookie	"I didn't go to the garden because I was too busy prepping a solo concert outside!"
	Firecracker Cookie	"Birthday Cake Cookie asked me to wait outside. She didn't say I couldn't play outside, so I was popping some firecrackers behind the museum! But nowhere near the garden at all!"

Do you know where the warehouse is?
	Angel Cookie	"I don't know anything about a warehouse..."
	Butter Pretzel Cookie	"Maybe it's somewhere in the garden...?"
	Herb Cookie	"It's the first thing you see when entering the garden and there are gardening tools inside."
	Mustard Cookie	"I know it's somewhere inside the garden."
	Gumball Cookie	"A warehouse? Sounds boring! Dunno where it is!"
	Rockstar Cookie	"A warehouse? Nah, solo gigs are best performed outdoors!"
	Firecracker Cookie	"Birthday Cake Cookie told me that it's not nice to play with firecrackers in closed spaces! So nope, didn't go there!"

Evidence

Chapter 1

Evidence 1
	*Cough cough* What's that...? A tinge of... spiciness in the air?
	*Sniff sniff* I'm not picking up anything unusual?
	Maybe adults are used to eating spicy foods too much...
	Something about this area... My throat itches and I keep sneezing!

Evidence 2
	Oh! Look here! A large piece of... thread? What is this...?
	This is a string from a musical instrument.
	What type of instrument is it for?
	It's hard to tell from a glance.
	Then let's focus on Cookies with musical instruments for now!

Evidence 3
	Ah, the sweet scent of the forest!
	It's also very calming and crisp!
	But... it's not the scent of fruit. It's almost... artificial, in nature. I wonder...

Evidence 4
	Very shallow footprints. A cookie with a light step passed by here.
	...Maybe they're yours?
	I'm not a little kid anymore! ...These footprints, they're rather blurry?

Evidence 5
	Over here! There's a trace of some substance where the painting was.
	Hmm... Yellow icing.
	Icing as delicate and light as this... Probably from someone's hair.
	Hair? Then let's look closely at blonde-haired Cookies!

Evidence 6
	Look at all these shiny, colorful spots!
	This.. color scheme doesn't match the rest of the museum, so to speak.
	Someone cleaned this area, but not thoroughly enough to clean this corner here.
	I think I know who did this!

Chapter 2

Evidence 1
	There's something near these shrubs.
	The leaves are scattered in some strange fashion...
	It's as if... something exploded nearby, blew them around in this manner.
	Perhaps there's some residue from whatever blew up?

Evidence 2
	Pieces of cloth...?
	Dark colored fragments of cloth...From someone's clothing, perhaps?
	Maybe we should look further into Cookies wearing dark clothing!

Evidence 3
	*Sniff sniff* Something smells... Delicious!
	A soft yet rich aroma.
	I've smelled this before somewhere... A smell in... bread? Cake?
	This is definitely a clue!

Case Recordings Story

Chapter 1

Round 1: Chili Pepper Cookie
Scouted the museum warehouse and grounds for valuables the night before the unveiling party. Shared information about the warehouse and where the painting could be placed.
	WAAAIT! What are you moving? It smells so fragrant and... buttery! The scent just screams VALUABLE!
	Is that from the museum? Try'na take it for your own, is that it?! Gimme! GIMME!
	...Seriously?

Round 2: Carol Cookie
The night before the party, discovered the painting being moved elsewhere. Kept watch in order to keep witnesses away from the scene.
	Oh look! Suspicious Cookie 2 and Suspicious Cookie 1 are heading off somewhere?
	What are they carrying? Is that a painting?
	Yes, let's lend them a hand! How may we help you?
	Carol Cookie! Could you please keep a lookout for any wandering Cookies? I don't want anyone to see the party before it's finished!

Round 3: Gumball Cookie (Someone's Thoughts)
Testimony confirmed: did not enter the museum. Preoccupied with shooting bubblegum outside the museum grounds.
There is a cookie who loves pink. Their alibi you must rethink.

Round 4: Whipped Cream Cookie
While rehearsing the night before the party, discovered the painting being moved elsewhere. Helped move the painting to the warehouse.
	That looks heavy...Need some help?
	Thank you!
	Whipped Cream Cookie, could you grab that end? This butter painting is super delicate, so we must be careful!
	Urghf...! This canvas is huge... and rather heavy! Is that the warehouse over there?

Round 5: Birthday Cake Cookie
Made preparations for the unveiling party on the previous night. Received a phone call while making her finishing touches. Decided to move the painting after receiving the phone call.
	...Suspicious Cookie 2, can you help me move this painting?
	Huh? Didn't you said we're almost done with the party prep?
	Just one final detail to perfect. But I can't move this thing on my own...

Round 6: Lemon Cookie
While preparing for the exhibit, was directed to move the painting before the night of the party.
	...Lemon Cookie, can you help me move this painting?
	Huh? Didn't you said we're almost done with the party prep?
	Just one final detail to perfect. But I can't move this thing on my own...
	Hmph. Sure.

Round 7: Strawberry Cookie
The night before the party, visited the outer gardens with a friend but got lost. Helped move the painting after discovering the scene.
	Ok! But nothing happened here, all right?
	Thanks...! But... can I help in any way?
	Oh, then could you go to the warehouse and make some room for this painting?
	OK...!

Chapter 2

Round 1: Firecracker Cookie (Someone's Thoughts)
Played alone with firecrackers outside of the museum until Angel Cookie joined to watch. Angel Cookie's testimony provides alibi. Firecracker Cookie was nowhere near the warehouse.
An old saying goes, the answer might be right under your nose.

Round 2: Mustard Cookie
On one of Dr. Wasabi Cookie's errands. Use a shortcut and passed by the warehouse, discovering the painting in question. Assisted in"reshaping" the painting with can of spray paint.
	Hey, Suspicious Cookie 3? What should we do with this painting?
	It's just... EURGH! I feel so frustrated just looking at it. I want to tear it apart...
	Welp, that's definitely a way to deal with it. Need a hand?
