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.

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.

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.

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

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

Who is the snitch in Tantei Gakuen Q?


The so-called mole is the subject of much debate between the manga and anime
canons...

In the manga,

> The secretary, Shino Katagiri... or rather the Pluto/Meiousei agent
> masquerading as her. The real Shino had was kidnapped before Dan Morihiko.
> Luckily they find and rescue her. It's assume that she was kidnapped later
> on.

Additionally:

> Ryu was originally sent by Pluto/Meiousei as a spy/envoy (due to his status
> as the their of the organization) inside DDS, particularly to keep an eye on
> Dan Morihiko, but he later defects from Pluto/Meiousei.

In the anime,

> Sir Anubis is the one that initiated the kidnapping of Dan Morihiko. He
> apparently hat Ryu under surveillance, after tries to leave Pluto/Meiousei,
> tries to use Dan-sensei as a bargaining chip to get Ryu to return.

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.
