Chapter 29: The Silent Proof(1/2)

The New York Art Center is located on 53rd Street in Manhattan and is indeed easy to find.

There is still some time before the press conference begins, but the reporters have already flocked to him, waiting for Chen Qiang to appear.

Chen Qiang hasn't appeared for a long time, and the discussion on the fraud of "Rabe's Diary" on the market is getting more and more intense. This has obviously become a hot topic, so a large number of reporters have come here specifically to know what kind of reply Chen Qiang will make.

Finally, after a long wait, Chen Qiang finally appeared in front of the New York Art Center.

"Chen Qiang is here!" Someone shouted loudly, and the reporters rushed up like a hunting dog that saw a prey.

"Mr. Chen, Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Yooyu Matsuoka said, the book you published is all fictional. Do you have any response?"

"Mr. Chen, it is rumored that you deliberately faked to attract the attention of ordinary people. Is that true? Do you really have a political purpose in doing this?"

"Mr. Chen, the book you published has sold very well. How much money did you make from it? Do you think it is unethical to make money by fabricating facts?"

"Mr. Chen, are you worried that the police will arrest you for defamation?"

The reporters asked in a verbal way, and the scene seemed a little confused for a moment.

Chen Qiang walked to the microphone, cleared his throat, and said, "My friends from reporters, please be quiet! Don't quarrel first, I will answer your questions."

The reporters calmed down, each stretched his neck and looked at Chen Qiang, and some people were holding pens and notebooks to record Chen Qiang's words.

I heard Chen Qiang speak: "First of all, I am very grateful to all the journalists for their concern and support. I also know what all journalists want to know from me."

"A few days ago, I noticed some reports that Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Yoyuzu Matsuoka denied the massacre and accused me of making fraud. Here, I want to tell you that Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Yoyuzu Matsuoka was completely bending the facts! He was slandering me! I can assure you that every word in "Rabe Diary" is true!"

"The reason why Matsuoka Yoyou slandered me is because the atrocities of the Japanese invaders in China are shameless. Therefore, when "Rabe Diary" was published, Matsuoka Yoyou slandered me to deny it to cover up his guilt!"

As soon as Chen Qiang finished speaking, a reporter suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, you and Ambassador Matsuoka have different opinions. We don't know who you said is true!"

"Matsuoka Yoeuki is a diplomat. Do you think what the diplomat says is credible? As far as I know, among the 100 words of diplomats, fifty sentences are nonsense, forty-nine sentences are lies, and only one sentence may be true. Remember, it is only possible!" Chen Qiang said with a swearing expression.

The reporter below suddenly burst into laughter, and Chen emphasized that the remarks that teased the diplomats were indeed very humorous.

However, the reporter who just spoke said loudly: "As reporters, we only believe in the facts and the truth. Mr. Chen, you keep saying that the contents in your book are true. Do you have any evidence to prove it? If you cannot prove it, it is because there is no factual basis, so why do you make us believe you!"

The reporter looked like he was pressing step by step. He was obviously bribed by Matsuoka Yoyu, so he came to find fault on purpose.

Chen Qiang seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and he said calmly: "Of course I have evidence to prove that everything I tell is the truth."

"Then Mr. Chen, please provide your evidence, but the premise is that your evidence must convince us!" the reporter said.

"My witnesses are behind you. Do you want to follow me to see them?" Chen Qiang pointed to the gate of the New York Art Museum behind.

"Witness? Hahaha, you can just find a so-called 'witness' or invite Mr. Rabe who wrote a diary. This is also evidence? You can fabricate a diary and deceive everyone. Of course, you can find some actors to help you lie! In New York, as long as you have money, you can find many people to help you lie. The witnesses you are looking for have no credibility!" The reporter said tit-for-tat.

"Mr. Journalist, I'm very sorry, my witnesses cannot speak!" Chen Qiang paused and continued: "But they can prove that everything I said is true! They will tell you the truth!"

After Chen Qiang said that, he leaned back and made an invitation, and then said, "Dear reporters, please come with me, I will take you to see my witness!"

A group of reporters followed Chen Qiang curiously into the exhibition hall of the New York Art Center, but the exhibition hall was empty, and there was no one except the two security guards.

"Mr. Chen, where is your witness? Could it be that these two security guards are your witnesses?" the reporter asked gloatingly.

"My witnesses are all here!" Chen Qiang pointed to the wall of the exhibition hall and then said, "They are on the wall! Although they can't speak, you can see the truth by getting closer!"

At this time, the reporters found that black and white photos were hanging on the wall.

"Photo? What does it mean? Is it a photography exhibition?"

"Let's go and see what you've taken!"

Several curious reporters walked to the wall and looked up at the photos hanging on the wall.

However, the next second, a scream rang out.

"Oh my god!"

"God! How could this happen!"

"Is this true?"

"Why does this happen!"

"Very vomit..."

The last person actually started vomiting on the spot.

The performance of several reporters immediately attracted others, and they flocked around to watch the photos on the wall, and then everyone looked shocked.

The photos on the wall are naturally photos brought back by Chen Qiang from Nanjing.

More than 80 photos taken by Rabe in Nanjing were preserved. In fact, Rabe took much more photos than this at that time. When he left Nanjing, Chen Qiang took all the photos taken by Rabe. He originally planned to bring them to Germany, but after being intercepted by the FBI halfway, these photos were naturally taken to the United States.

In addition to the photos taken by Rabe, there were other people in the Nanjing security zone at that time, such as staff from various countries stationed in Nanjing, and some Chinese people who came to take refuge. They also took many photos of the massacre, and these photos were also collected by Chen Qiang.

Scattered, Chen Qianggui collected nearly 300 photos, and now all of them are posted on the wall of the New York Art Center!

These are all ironclad evidence of the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders!

Since Matsuoka Yoyu held a press conference, Chen Qiang began to prepare for this matter secretly. He found the New York Art Center and secretly prepared this photo exhibition. It was precisely because he wanted to show these photos to the world that he chose the location of the press conference at the New York Art Center.

...

The reporters were all shocked by these photos.

A reporter stood in front of a photo. There were hills made of countless heads, and two Japanese soldiers were pushing carts to deliver more heads and pile them together.

"My God, what is said in that book is true! The corpses are really piled up!"

A reporter stood in front of another photo. There was a canal in the photo, and there were corpses inside, and there was no limit to the sight.

"The book says that there are 3,000 corpses in the canal. I didn't believe it before. Looking at the photos, there are probably more than 3,000 people!"

A reporter stood in front of a photo. In the photo, a fierce Japanese army was waving a butcher knife, but under his feet was the head of a child...

"Voe...wow..." The reporter vomited out directly.

"Beasts, beasts are worse than beasts! They don't even let go of children! They are simply the incarnation of demons! God will punish them!"

In front of another photo, several reporters looked solemn.

The reporter who was looking for trouble for Chen Qiang just now couldn't help but defend himself: "Maybe these killed are all Chinese soldiers. You know, it is normal for soldiers to die in battle on the battlefield."

A person next to him immediately retorted: "Are you an idiot? Have you not seen the woman whose clothes were torn apart, she was erect and she was a pregnant woman. Have you ever seen a pregnant woman be a soldier?"

Another person also said: "Are you blind? Look at the old man, there are more wrinkles on his face than my grandfather. He must be at least eighty years old. Do you think an eighty-year-old man will be a soldier?"

The photos shocked everyone on the scene, and these were silent proofs.

However, this silent proof can reach the weakest part of a person's heart than that loud accusation.

At the beginning, some people exclaimed, some people shouted God, and some people couldn't help vomiting, but then, everyone fell silent, and gradually, many people's eyes showed tears. This was not only sympathizing with the innocent victims in the photos, but also because of human conscience that made them unable to let go.

At this time, no verbal explanation is needed. Everyone on the scene knows what the truth is! No one questioned the authenticity of "Rabe Diary".

Iron evidence!

"The elderly, pregnant women, children, these are all civilians! The Japanese army is really massacring civilians! What the book says is true! Chen Qiang did not lie to us, he did not commit fraud, nor did he slander, all he said is true!"

"It was Japanese Ambassador to the United States, Yoyu Matsuoka who deceived us with a lie. I actually helped the Japanese question Chen Qiang before. I almost became an accomplice of the devil! Oh my God, I want to go to the church to confess to the priest!"

"Yes, that Japanese ambassador really disgusted me. He was so inverted by black and white!"

"The Japanese are not trustworthy. They are believers of Satan, so they are full of lies. I will never trust the Japanese again!"

...

On the same day, all the evening newspapers in New York reported on this matter, and many evening newspapers even put this on the front page.

The next day, related reports were spread throughout the United States.

These days, newspapers have been hyping up Chen Qiang's fraud. Many Americans have even begun to condemn Chen Qiang. Now things have suddenly changed a big reversal, which has immediately attracted greater attention.

When Chen Qiang deliberately avoided the reporter, everyone felt that Chen Qiang was guilty, so he deliberately hid, so the person who made the fraud must be Chen Qiang. However, when the truth was revealed, everyone discovered that Matsuoka Yoosuke was the one who fabricated facts and deceived everyone.

The popularity of this incident instantly increased to a higher level.

The photo exhibition held by Chen Qiang at the New York Art Center also attracted New York citizens' audiences. Everyone wanted to see what kind of photos revealed the truth.

Chen Qiang did not charge any fees for this exhibition, and he paid the rent to hold a photo exhibition for the New York Art Center. Chen Qiang’s purpose was to let more people come to see this photo exhibition, so that more people can understand the atrocities of the Japanese army and let more people know the suffering China is suffering.

It has to be said that many people are indeed watching exhibitions that do not spend money, especially the media has already hyped up the popularity of this topic. As part of the topic, the exhibition will naturally attract many people who are obsessed with melons.

Moreover, in that era, people's entertainment life was also lacking. Even in big cities like New York, entertainment projects were not as rich as those in later generations. A free exhibition would indeed attract many leisure audiences.

Since the Civil War, the United States has never been baptized by war again. Moreover, twenty years have passed since World War I. Most Americans have not experienced war. They do not know the cruelty of war. When they see these photos, they are all shocked!

Many people have watched "The Diary of Rabe" and then watched the exhibition. Originally, they thought that the content in "The Diary of Rabe" was already very exaggerated, but after they watched the photo exhibition, they realized that compared with the truth of the facts, "The Diary of Rabe" records only a drop in the bucket.

More and more people go to the photo exhibition, and then word of mouth is passed on, allowing more people to come to the New York Art Center and let more people learn the truth. The atrocities of the Japanese invaders are no longer hidden.

...

At the Japanese Embassy in the United States, Matsuoka Yosumasa held the phone with an anxious look on his face.

Matsuoka Yoyu said to the phone in a sincere tone: "Mr. Thomas, please listen to my explanation."

"Ambassador Matsuoka, you don't need to explain. You once told me confidently that the contents of that book are all fake. Obviously you deceived me. I don't like being deceived by others! I don't want to be deceived again." After the other party said that, he hung up the phone.

Matsuoka Yoyou sighed helplessly, and at this moment he felt like he was surrounded by enemies.

During the days when Chen Qiang hid, Matsuoka Yoyou was still complacent and thought Chen Qiang was cowardly, but what he didn't expect was that in just one day, Chen Qiang turned over. Those photos were undeniable evidence, proving the Japanese army's crimes.
