According to the indictment, from the beginning of July 2020 to the time of his arrest on September 13, 2020, Viet bought and sold drugs for Quang three times.
The first time, in early July 2020, Quang called Viet to order 1 kg of ketamine for 425 million VND. After purchasing the "goods" from the source, Viet informed Quang. Then, Quang hired Khanh to pick it up for 20 million VND. At the Ben Thuy bridge section, Nghi Xuan district (Ha Tinh), Viet hid the drugs next to a rock on the side of the road and called Khanh to pick it up. After getting the "goods", Khanh sent it to the Eastern bus station for the customer.

After two successful deals, Quang continued to order 1 kg of drugs from Viet. At the same time, Viet also received a phone call ordering 1 cake of heroin from another customer.
