Another possible inconsistency

I was just listening to the Goblet of Fire and someting seemed to me as 
another inconsistency. I haven't heard this before so i'll go ahead and post it.

When Moody takes Harry at the end of the third task, Dumbledore immedately 
knows that he is not the real Moody. And he tells Harry he is not the real 
Moody and shows him the flask with polyjuice potion. So, at this point, he 
knows that he is an impostor, but still there is no clue as to who is the 
impostor. Then he sends Snape for the Veritaserum and MacGonagall to the 
kitchens to find Winky and bring her. Only later the effects of the polyjuice 
potion start to fade off  and they recognize the impostor as Crouch Jr. 

so, how does Dumbledore that they are going to need Winky? How does he 
know that the impostor was Crouch Jr.? I understand the logic behing  him 
knowing that Moody was an impostor, but not why he knows who the impostor 
was.

Am i missing something?
