Why did Red get rejected in the first two times...
when he acted compliantly in front of the interrogation group and incredibly got approved when he acted sarcastically in the same condition?

shareBecause the first two times, he was very eagerly saying everything they wanted to hear, whether it was true or not, and they could easily see that. The third time, he was actually sincere, so they knew that he was finally so defeated that he wouldn't cause any trouble on the outside. He wasn't being sarcastic, he was finally being honest and blunt with them.

Didn't Red kill people?

Red was in prison for murder, yes. He also admitted it to Andy, but I believe it was a single incident.
Is it not murder because he only did it once?
Is English your first language? You said:
Didn't Red kill people?"People" denotes plural in the English language. No, Red didn't kill "people", he killed a person. If you said instead: "Didn't Red kill someone?", then I only would have responded to the first part of your question as to whether Red was in prison for murder, which of course is yes.
"Red said he was the only guilty man in Shawshank because he murdered his wife for insurance money by cutting the brakes on her car.
He would inadvertently murder three more when his wife picked up some passengers on the way into town, resulting in Red getting caught. Red stated that he only did it because he was "a young, stupid kid" and that not a day goes by where he doesn't feel regret for the terrible crime, and it is speaking from his heart like this that resulted in him getting paroled after serving forty years out of a life sentence.

I don't care how many people he murdered, I think the fact he committed murder is why he had a hard time getting paroled.
Because he is black.
