Near the end of 2015, cockfighting betting circles across the country were often fascinated by the cockfighting arena opened by a construction business owner in Bac Ly ward, Dong Hoi, Quang Binh. The cockfighting arena was built on an area of ​​over 5,000m², surrounded by a fence built over 3m high. The camera system installed by the owner scans images hundreds of meters away. This is considered an inviolable area by the cockfighting arena owner, so gamblers who love cockfighting for money across the country often come to the cockfighting arena.

The cockfighting arena is designed to be divided into many areas. Right in the middle of the main yard are two elaborately designed cockfighting arenas. The owner's office, the gamblers' resting place, the parking lot, the kitchen, the referee's room... are all built spaciously, with surveillance cameras to every corner of the wall. And especially the cockfighting area is designed by the owner into separate rooms for each fighting cock. Each room is painted red and gold, with a number plate for each cock. It is known that many fighting cocks here are worth up to 200 million VND.

In addition to the 24/7 surveillance cameras, there are dozens of guards divided into many control rings every day, from the surrounding corridors, the main gate, the yards, the arenas and the chicken coops. To enter the cockfighting arena after passing through the cockfighting arena's "security" control system, each person passing through the gate must pay 50,000 VND, motorbikes 20,000 VND, cars 50,000 VND, and staying for lunch costs 150,000 VND.

In addition, the cockfighting ring owner also collects a percentage of each cockfight. It is known that there are days when a person has won a cockfight worth up to several billion VND. At peak times, some cockfights are even filmed for domestic and foreign cockfighting bettors to place bets directly.

Cockfighting rules are publicly posted by the owner.

In the cockfighting arena, there are specific rules posted publicly such as “general regulations, cockfighting regulations, cockfighting regulations…”. Seeing that the cockfighting arena was elaborately and magnificently built, located in the middle of a large area of ​​land, many tycoons who are passionate about cockfighting across the country thought that perhaps this cockfighting arena was “protected”, with nothing to stop it, so many people brought billions of dollars here to gamble…

For the Quang Binh Police, the time to destroy the cockfighting arena had come, but to successfully solve the case, for many months, the detectives had been conducting reconnaissance, collecting information and operating rules of the cockfighting arena to proceed with the case.
