Ask it questions about the woman.

Posts haven't died down, we're just in a slow methodical segment due to B and E and tension

Basically what Chrona is saying. Sneaking around is not very action-packed, but you will eventually encounter people that won't be happy with what you're doing.

Hydro, Smiley is not just looking for a conveyance, he is trying to walk the route a body would take to move in and out.  I am still hoping to find a hearse or some similar vehicle.

Oh, ok, I get it now. Basically, no garages/hearses. Most shinto funerals are done inside the house of the deceased or buddhist-style funerals in a funeral home and incinerations are carried. There usually is no body to burry, as most of the time only ashes remain. The stretchers are used to bring the bodies in.

If you're at all interested in stuff like that, there was an excellent Japanese movie that came out a few years ago called "Okuribito". Here's the Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KubOOWL2js

If posting links is not allowed, I'll be sure to remove it.

Just to clear a few things from a cultural standpoint, especially for Lumen, denying a body a proper burial is a very big insult. Even more so running away with it. Nobody, and I mean nobody Japanese, will take you in with a body and let you stash it. The Johnson would definitely be mad that you took the body away instead of letting it have a proper sending off, even if that meant any physical evidence of a crime would be burnt with it.

I was thinking that but wasn't sure how insistent to be.  I'll edit my last post shortly.

See, my way of thinking would be that letting her be cremated under a false name without ceremony to cover her murder would be the greater insult, Smiley has a 4 in Etiquette, so he would have a good idea of what is appropriate.  If you as the GM are telling me he couldn't figure out a way to handle this properly, we will leave it, but Smiley will probably tip off Tetsuo to the whys and wherefors after we leave.

Yeah, with your etiquette you would definitely know that taking the body away would be a big faux-pas.
