The investigation agency determined that this was a serious case because the perpetrators were aggressive, reckless, reckless, disregarded the law and had prepared carefully 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 caused injuries to Hoang Ngoc Long on the evening of October 7.

On the afternoon of October 12, the Criminal Investigation Police Team on Criminal - Economic - Drug Crimes of Nghi Loc District Police, in coordination with the Police of Khanh Hop, Nghi Xuan communes and Nghi Hai Ward Police (Cua Lo town) successfully broke up the case, arresting the above 4 subjects. The seized exhibits include: 02 motorbikes; 01 homemade sword; 01 iron wire that the subjects used to injure Mr. Hoang Ngoc Long.

During the process of working with the Investigation Police Agency, the subjects confessed to their crimes. Accordingly, an acquaintance of Tran Van Hoang hasconflict, had a conflict with Hoang Ngoc Long and this person asked Hoang to beat Long to warn him.

After accepting, Hoang called Duc, Tai, and Nghia to join in. Before taking action, the group had prepared carefully to avoid being detected by the authorities and the victims.

Currently, the case is being further investigated by Nghi Loc District Police.
