Detective Mole	comment	Among the various cops, forensics people, etc., working on a crime scene in fiction, there's a good chance that one person on the team will know a lot more about what happened than everyone else present... because they committed it. In real criminal investigations, it's not uncommon for the offender to somehow attempt to insert himself/herself into the investigation to keep tabs on it, or for ego's sake. In this trope, it happens that the offender is actually an official part of the investigation, and is quite probably cheerfully leading Detective Patsy astray as much as possible. This applies to any crime. The defining characteristic is that one of the investigators is in fact the perpetrator, whether the audience knows it or not. Compare Bruce Wayne Held Hostage, Hired to Hunt Yourself. When the Detective Mole is very high-ranking, see Mole in Charge. No connection whatsoever to Hanna-Barbera cartoon star Morocco Mole, who is an assistant detective who happens to be a mole. This was explicitly banned in Msgr Ronald Knox's "Ten Commandments" of the Fair-Play Whodunnit story, although some authors viewed the prohibition as only applying to the main investigator and still wrote stories unmasking a secondary member of the investigating team as the criminal. Related to The Mole. Warning: This is a Spoilered Rotten trope, which means that EVERY SINGLE EXAMPLE on this list is a spoiler by default and most of them will be unmarked. This is your last warning, only proceed if you really believe you can handle this list.

Detective Mole / int_17293dfa	comment	Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: The first case has Player Character Kaede Akamatsu working with Ultimate Detective Shuichi Saihara to figure out who killed Rantaro Amami. Kaede is leading Shuichi towards the horrible realization that she was the one who did it in true Roger Ackroyd fashion, having set up a trap to try to kill the mastermind and save all the students from their game, only for the trap to kill Rantaro by mistake. And then in the final case, it's subverted: Kaede was being framed by the ringleader all along, although even she didn't know this and genuinely believed she accidentally killed him. Chapter 6 reveals through Shuichi's audition tape for the Danganronpa reality TV show that he entered the killing game intending to become the first Ultimate Detective blackened, but he never commits any murders in the game.

In the same episode, another inspector, Linda de Maeschalk, was suspected of being this by Witse, but she turned out to be a Red Herring Mole in the end. In the episode "Ijskoud", the victims were murdered by the coroner who examined the bodies. In the two-parter "Achter de waarheid", Witse's team gets help from Rik Cuppens, a DCI from the missing persons squad. When Witse and his team unravel a human trafficking ring, Rik is part of the arrest team responsible for the arrest of the last remaining organizer of this ring. However, a gunfight takes place throughout the arrest and Rik shoots the organizer in self-defence. Or, at least, that's what he wants his colleagues to think. In reality, he was in on the human trafficking ring and even delivered wayward girls to them. When the net started to close, he shot the organizer (and last remaining witness) to conceal his involvement in the crime.

Detective Mole / int_51ba977e	comment	The board game Clue, possibly (and definitely if you're playing with six players). Hilarious in the SNES version, where a cutscene will play out where the winner deduces the killer and the killer gets taken away by the cops while cursing the winner. "Prof. Plum: The killer was Prof. Plum. [...] Curse you, Prof. Plum!". Also, that apparently still counts as a win. Mr. Green: I won, I won! I may be going to jail, but I won!

What's more, he also kills R.K. Maroon before he spills the beans. And was the one behind the company buying Maroon Studios and the Red Car. And was the one who killed Eddie's brother all those years ago. Moreover, he did all this so that he could destroy Toontown and build a resort area next to the soon-to-be-completed freeway. (And, according to one of the first drafts of the script, he was the one who shot Bambi's mother!) That's one seriously disturbed toon.

Detective Mole / int_564871a	comment	Blue Bloods: In "To Tell the Truth," Linda is kidnapped in an attempt to intimidate Danny into not testifying against a drug lord whom he witnessed executing a subordinate. It becomes clear that there's a mole who leaked information about Danny to the drug lord's network. In the end, it's proven through some digging from Frank's secretary Abigail Baker that the mole bought burner phones for the drug lord, identifying the federal agent who sold Danny out. In "Working Girls," Danny and Jackie are assigned to protect a witness scheduled to testify against a Russian mobster who killed an associate's wife, due to Erin's previous star witness (said associate) being killed off by the mobster's henchmen. They hide her in a hotel room, but the room is compromised when Danny realizes that the repairman sent to fix a broken air conditioner is actually a hitman. Danny realizes that there's a leak from the task force. He has Jackie stash the witness at her apartment, while he goes over the files of everyone on the task force to look for the mole. With nothing turning up, he and Gormley leak a false address out to the task force, hoping that the mole will react accordingly. Sure enough, he sends two hitmen to the address, and break into an empty apartment occupied by an ESU team. The hitmen quickly give up the mole who fed them the information. Subverted in "Above and Beyond". Steve Tomlin, an undercover detective, is killed after the drug kingpin he's investigating finds out his true identity. When Gormley and Danny go to empty Tomlin's locker, they find it's been emptied and it's suspected that the dealer may have a mole. Turns out there isn't a mole, and Tomlin's locker was emptied early at his request because it was going to be discovered that he was cheating on his wife with another woman, with whom he'd fathered a kid. And it was his wife who accidentally blew his cover, calling a guy in the dealer's crew mistaking him for Tomlin's mistress.

The spinoff Phoenix Force novels have an entry when the Force helps a joint Miami PD-DEA operation to bust a drug cartel. Before the raid, one detective and a DEA agent get into a shouting match that nearly becomes a fight. Just as the raid is about to begin, each of those men tries to kill their fellow cops, only for the Force to stop them. Both men had been on the cartel's payroll and thought the fake fight would make them look like they were dedicated to the job. In reality, it made them look like unprofessional punks and made the Force suspicious.

Manfred was also The Man Behind the Man to the culprit of the Gourd Lake murder, instructing him to frame Edgeworth specifically to engineer circumstances that would prompt Edgeworth to confess his supposed guilt for DL-6. Damon Gant, back when he wasn't the chief of police yet, was involved in the SL-9 Incident, first as an investigator of its primary suspect Joe Darke, then as the culprit of its final murder.

Furio Tigre was Maggey Byrde's defense attorney and the culprit of the crime she was being tried for. In fact, he intentionally defended her badly so she would be declared guilty for his crime.

Detective Mole / int_ef805f6a	comment	FBI agent John Connolly was involved in helping mobster James J. "Whitey" Bulger get away with his crimes for as long as he did. Colin Sullivan in The Departed was loosely based on him, while Frank Costello from the same movie is based on Bulger. Black Mass is a more direct treatment of Connolly and Bulger's partnership. Connolly is currently in a Massachusetts prison for a 40-year sentence after serving a 10-year sentence in federal prison. It was partially thanks to him that Bulger was able to escape as a fugitive for as long as he did.

Detective Mole / int_f4e799ee	comment	Michael in Burn Notice does this often when he gets hired by the bad guy to find out who is after him (more often than not being Michael himself). One notable one is when he is hired to be a Spy Hunter and pretty much has a blast suitably suggesting it could be him to the mark.

Detective Mole / int_f74b5f80	comment	Happens several times on Babylon 5, due partially to the fact that the eponymous station is where folks go (at least earlier in the show) when they get Reassigned to Antarctica. Many of the security guards work there simply because they had nowhere else to go, and more than a few are easily bribed. The most notable example, however, would be Garibaldi's assistant Jack, in the first season.

Detective Mole / int_fb2991d8	comment	On Justified, US Marshal Raylan Givens tends to run into those types of moles. In season one, Sheriff Hunter Mosley turns out to be working for a Miami drug cartel and is called in to investigate when his relative botches a hit on Raylan. In season 2 it is an Open Secret that the Benetts are the biggest marijuana growers in the state and Sheriff Doyle Bennett regularly investigates and covers up crimes committed by his brothers. In season 4, the FBI agent in charge of investigating the Tonin crime family has been on their payroll for years. When Raylan goes looking for fugitive Drew Thompson who disappeared in Harlan County 30 years ago, he is helped by new sheriff Shelby Parlow who not only is reluctantly working for crime boss Boyd Crowder but also is Drew Thompson.

He likely had dropped from these roles by the time he was revealed in Saw IV, however, as Jigsaw had died by then.
