But she's kidnapped later, no? The presence of a mole is noticed pretty early on, and Katagiri is acting normal then.

Well there are multiple... which part of the story are you referring to? The one I mentioned is the one responsible for kidnapping Dan Morihiko.

before that. I think Q class suspects a mole, and at first they think  it is Hongou. There is suspicion on Hongou from the kids for the rest of the series, up to the finale.

<p>In the anime, there is a scene where Katagari tells Dan about the arrival of Hongou. This is the episode where Hongou is first introduced. In the same above scene, Katagari mentions that even Maki sensei had come back from vacation and joined the DDS to resume his teaching and that the team of teachers is complete. Maki sensei is introduced in the beginning episodes. He is a forensic expert. It can be that he was the one who was kidnapped and replaced.</p>

<p>In the anime Detective Academy Q/Tantei Gakuen Q, at one point we learn that there is a snitch in DDS spying for Pluto/Meiosei.</p>

<p>At first we are led to believe that it is Hongou Sensei, but  later Hongou is loyal to DDS when they go to the cruise ship so he probably wasn't the spy.</p>

<p>Katagiri Sensei had been briefly kidnapped and impersonated in the events leading up to the finale, but IIRC she is not being impersonated for very long, ruling her impersonator out as the snitch.</p>

<p>Ryu hates Pluto so can't be the snitch. Unless Pluto had bugged him (there is no confirmation of this in the anime)</p>

<p>So who was the snitch/spy? I'm talking about the period between when Hongou Sensei came in to before Dan was kidnapped.</p>
