The Fifth Mole?

Okay, I just finished watching IA3 and for the life of me can't figure out who the 5th mole was.

In IA3 approximately 15 mins into the movie we are revealed by Inspector B that there are 5 moles

1) Inspector B himself
2) Ming
3) Chun (the guy that Yeung got to kill himself)
4) and Yeung himself right?

But who is the 5th?

Or when Ming asked how many more moles was they, did he literally mean how many MORE? In which case, the answer excluding Inspector B but including Ming would mean there are 4 other moles. If we account for Chun and Yeung, that means there are 2 other moles we don't know about.

Can anyone clarify this (and to those with cantonese ears too) or is my maths just terrible?

Yeung's not a mole, is he?
Anyways, there was this nameless guy's file saying he committed suicide because Sam died.

Yeung isn't a mole, you're right, but Inspector Billy didn't think that.

I can't seem to find any info on this nameless guy's file though, where abouts is it??

the fifth mole was the sarge

I thought that it was "Shen" because somewhere in the movie they all figured out that they were moles.[At the docks] Yeung points out that Shen is not Shen at all. Later Yan asks what "Shen's" name was and he replies "Just call me shadow". You have to ask: How was "Shen" able to incriminate Ming if he were a crime boss? If "Shen" were a real Triad, he would not have turned in Ming because he was a Triad informant. What would Shen have gained if he turned in the connection to the Hong Kong police in? Shen was an undercover mainland cop, plain and simple.

So does this mean that there is one remaining mole left who is unkilled? The old guy in the cop uniform who likes to play golf (also the guy who promoted Lau)? Also, shouldn't he have some higher rank since he wears that fancy uniform?

I've just re-read the comic version of this & there's alil' more additional scenes that explaining alot of things in the movie, but I'm not sure if it's accureate or not.

the comic ver.
-when asked by Ming, Billy said 'there were total 7 moles'
-after Yan's death, Yeung inform Shen about the event of 'Yan' sending tapes to various cops who's caught on tape with Sam so they commit suicide & it seems like the tape were actually send by 'Ming' so Yeung suspect that Ming already physologically confused himself being 'Yan'.. thus destroying other moles.
- Yeung & Shen didn't have any evidence to prove that Ming is a mole so they set him up by creating fake tapes.
- after the funeral of Yeung, Ming boss reveal to Dr. Lee that Yeung did have a relationship with Sam coz for the past ten of so years there's a record of banking accounts with huge money transfered by Sam to Yeung every month, but since he never touch that money & donate it instead.. they assumed that Yeung is actually a really good cop.
- Dr. Lee didn't know anything till the very end.. [that's my impression on her in the comic ver.] she's not sent by Shen or Yeung to test Ming.

Watch the beginning of the first film and just count up how many people there were with Lau.

Can't be Shen, he is too old according to the 1st movie.
