In question: "we/you are talking about" "Personnally acquainted" may mean "I don't know him at all", or "I just know his face".

It sounds like a detective is asking around to get some useful information regarding a man

No, 'in question' does not mean that someone is being questioned.

It just means the person we are talking about. Illogical I know! It can also be used of object 'the car in question' 'the dog in question' etc. It is a rather formal, almost legalistic, way of speaking and I can't say I've ever used it in real life.
