Nguyen's sophistication and cunning is shown in the fact that, in order to avoid being monitored and detected by the police, Nguyen built a system of "underlings" with the aim of "reversely" monitoring the activities of the investigation agency. Nguyen's residence is also located in a deep alley and has only one single road to enter and exit.
