Chapter 351 Evidence
The moment Tony finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in uproar!
All the cameras suddenly focused on that photo again!
This time, Tony spoke without hesitation, giving the woman no chance to argue. His face was cold as he prepared to call Jarvis to find the original source of the photos and deliver the final, fatal blow.
Unexpectedly, before Tony could even speak, the huge holographic screen behind him lit up instantly!
In the very center of the room was a high-resolution scan of the "deformed child" photo that the woman was holding aloft, along with the original black and white image!
Of course, even if it's limited by the era and can only reflect the original image in black and white...
However, once the image is enlarged, everything in the photo—whether it's the graininess of the film, the scratches of time, or even the tragic surrounding environment captured along with it—is clearly visible!
It's as if this isn't a copy that has survived to the present day...
It was actually filmed on location, after traveling through time and space!
"...Ladies and gentlemen, please open your eyes wide and look carefully! This is the true source of the photograph!"
Tony was only slightly taken aback by this unexpected turn of events, but then a flash of inspiration made him realize who was behind it all.
As Tony's tense nerves were able to relax a little, he was curious as to why Jarvis had chosen to participate personally when he could have easily done it himself. However, on the surface, he maintained his cold and unapproachable expression, staring at the trembling woman before him, and questioned her word by word.
"As media professionals, you must have dealt with cameras quite a bit every day. You should be able to tell that this graininess, this black-and-white tone, this specific style of the ruins in the background... this is not a product of the digital camera era, or even the late 20th century! This is bloody evidence of crime, taken at least half a century ago with an old-fashioned film camera amidst war and smoke!"
On the screen, the two images were highlighted by the manipulator behind the scenes, who quickly analyzed the traces of modification, as well as the texture of the original photographic paper, the angle of the light, and even the scattering pattern of the dust in the air.
A short while later, Jarvis's signature electronic synthesized voice quickly spread, explaining the origin of the original image to everyone.
"Database comparison complete, 99.97% match. The original image was taken in January 1938 in Hankou, Hubei Province, China. Source: Archives of war correspondent Carl Mydans, photographer for Life magazine. The original image title was: 'Children on the verge of death due to famine and war after continuous Japanese bombing.'"
Jarvis's calm and even voice, however, sounded like thunder to everyone, exploding in their minds!
Exactly the same child, the same desperate look in their eyes, the same background of ruins!
The only difference is that the original photograph is clearer, bearing the heavy marks of history. Next to it are clearly the museum's accession number, the provenance watermark, and that heartbreaking text description!
"No...impossible! You're lying! You forged it! You...!"
The woman's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she screamed hysterically in a final struggle.
But Tony didn't bother to waste any more words on her.
His fingers slid through the air again.
Jarvis understood immediately and quickly switched the photo on the screen to another one.
A baby crying in the ruins.
"Match complete. The original footage was taken on August 28, 1937, at Shanghai South Railway Station, after a Japanese air raid. Photographer: HS Wong. A classic in the history of world photojournalism, irrefutable evidence of Japanese atrocities."
"This one! Match complete. Scene after the Chongqing bombings of 1941, source..."
"This one! Nanjing, 1937, provenance..."
