The investigation agency determined that this was a serious case because the perpetrators were aggressive, reckless, reckless, disregarded the law and had carefully prepared before committing the crime. This caused panic and anger among the people in the area. The leaders of Nghi Loc District Police assigned the Criminal Investigation Police Team on Criminal - Economic - Drug Crimes to preside over and coordinate with the police of communes, wards and related professional teams to investigate and clarify the subject who intentionally caused injury.

Because the subjects were well prepared, covered their faces with masks, and committed the crime at night, the victims did not know who had injured them. There were no security cameras along the routes the subjects traveled, so the investigation agency could not establish the characteristics of the subjects and the means of committing the crime.

However, with great determination, after a short time, the Investigation Committee identified: Tran Van Hoang, Duong Duc Nghia, Nguyen Canh Duc and Nguyen Van Tai as the subjects who injured Hoang Ngoc Long on the evening of October 7.
