Don Vito - How did he know it was Barzini all along?

How did Don Vito know it was Barzini all along?

At first, we all assumed that Don Vito called the meeting of the five large families to reconcile. But this is the battlefield, and the meeting is a negotiation. No wonder Vito brought an offer to the "reconciliation": to share his exclusive connections.
But is it true? If Don Vito wanted to share, he would have done it in the first place. Shouldn't it be until he's assassinated to make an offer, like an insurance for his life?
There is only one explanation: It was to buy time for his son. At this stage, Don Vito is very weak and does not know when he will die. Michael was his only remaining son who could succeed him, but Michael didn't choose this path in the first place. He needs time to get used to and reorganize the family apparatus. A truce in the war with other families is the card that Vito uses to relieve pressure on his son.
At this meeting, Don Vito also noticed all the remaining bosses. And he also realized: Barzini was the man behind running the drug operation; the rest were too shy and not strong enough. Vito Corleone can easily see this because, during the meeting, it was Barzini (also the only one) who attacked him. Barzini accuses Vito of not sharing police and political connections for drug activity. What motivates Barzini to push the subject of drugs so firmly if he has nothing to do with it? It could only be because he was behind it all.
This is also why Barzini wanted to kill Michael. The treaty was made with Don Vito, but when his father died, did Michael continue to keep his word? With Michael's personality, he will avenge his brother Sonny. Barzini used a close-man card to approach and kill Michael, but how could he bypass the wise Don Vito?
