His clothes were stained with dried blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem,\" Detective Martinez cleared his throat, breaking the silence. \"Let's go over this once again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his attention to the boy, he continued, \"Inder Sephtis, age fifteen, a student, with a clear criminal record. Is this information correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy nodded without meeting his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detective Martinez acknowledged the response before proceeding. \"You were found at the scene of the crime, covered in blood, with your family members... deceased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of his family, the boy flinched but kept his gaze fixed on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There were reports of three gunshots from your house within a span of five minutes,\" Detective Roul added, producing a sealed packet containing a gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....And the gun has your fingerprints.\" Detective Martinez finished as his gaze bore on the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need you to tell us what happened that night, Inder,\" Detective Roul urged, leaning forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... have all the proof you need,\" the boy replied, his voice calm and devoid of emotion. \"Why are you asking all this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can't help you if you don't tell us the truth,\" Detective Martinez responded, his gaze steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I killed them,\" the boy confessed, his voice wavering slightly. \"That is the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detective Martinez and Detective Roul exchanged a somber glance, acknowledging the weight of his confession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite suspecting it from the evidence, hearing it directly from him was chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, Inder?\" Detective Roul inquired, his tone laced with sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Inder remained silent, his gaze fixed on the table, his emotions concealed beneath a facade of numbness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Both your parents had clean records,\" Detective Roul continued, pressing for more information. \"Your father was a regular office worker, and your mother was an ordinary housewife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder flinched again at the mention of his parents, but the detectives ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to understand what led to this, Inder,\" Detective Roul persisted, tapping his fingers on the table. \"Why did you do this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, the boy remained silent, refusing to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Detective Roul sighed tiredly, then retrieved a photo from the evidence and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know her?\" he asked, prompting Inder to look at the photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It depicted a girl around his age, with disheveled odsain black hair and eyes, and a beautiful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder gazed at the photo but didn't respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senara Azenor, your classmate,\" Detective Roul continued, studying Inder's reaction. \"Do you recognize her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I know her,\" Inder finally replied, his smile bittersweet, conveying a mix of emotions, primarily sadness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....She was found dead in your house,\" Detective Roul informed him, his gaze unwavering. \"In the same manner as your parents, shot with a gun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inder hung his head low at the detective's words, as if trying to deny the reality he was facing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....Her mother was informed about her death,\" Detective Martinez said, causing Inder to tremble. \"She told us that she entrusted her daughter's safety to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He again remained silent, his eyes starting to blur with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....She wants to meet with you, Inder,\" Detective Martinez informed him, prompting him to look up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath caught in his throat at the mention of Senara's mother wanting to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I can't,\" he whispered hoarsely, his voice barely audible as he struggled to contain his emotions. \"I can't face her... I can't face anyone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You killed her daughter and you're refusing to face the consequences?\" Detective Roul scoffed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not confirmed, partner,\" Detective Martinez interjected, looking at him sternly. \"Don't speak as if he's already guilty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's already admitted it; we're just wasting our time talking to a psychopath,\" Detective Roul grumbled, letting out a frustrated sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I didn't want any of this to happen,\" Inder muttered, his voice choked with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it happened!\" Detective Roul interjected sharply, his tone accusatory. \"You killed your own family and an innocent girl. Don't act like you're the victim here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop it, Roul, he's only fifteen,\" Detective Martinez interjected again, looking at Inder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that makes it even worse!\" Detective Roul stood up abruptly, glaring at the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you even know how much that girl's mother was crying, hugging her dead body? Do you even realize how many lives you've destroyed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roul! That's enough!\" Detective Martinez stood up as he positioned himself between Inder and Roul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucking physopath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roul stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh...\" Detective Martinez sighed as he looked at Inder, who sat with his head hung low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't lose hope, kid,\" he said, prompting Inder to look up. \"The moment you lose hope, everything will start to crumble, and your life will lose its meaning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not a nice thing to say to someone who has lost everything,\" Inder replied, his vacant eyes staring at him. \"I... I inherited the sin, and I became a monster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inder—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, Detective,\" Inder interjected before Martinez could finish, \"you know what my mother's dying words were?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martinez remained silent as he noticed tears sliding down Inder's cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S... She told me that I... I shouldn't have been born in this world,\" Inder said as he once again hung his head low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M... Maybe she was right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",927,"2026-06-05T21:29:07.751Z",1,"novelbin.me","48a5cdfabfb8303842775c88a65d17486b2ce043b0502fb5977851399258154c","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-27","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-25",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
