The investigation agency determined that these two families borrowed money at high interest rates from Tong Duc Hien (31 years old). He repeatedly came to collect the money but was unsuccessful, so he hired Phong's group. It is currently unclear what role Hien played in the "mental terrorism" of the victims.
