During the interrogation, I asked the suspect where he had hidden the stolen pastry.

When reporting a Wh- question, we change the word order from question format (verb-subject) to statement format (subject-verb). We also backshift the tense from past simple ("did you hide") to past perfect ("had hidden").

He refused to answer, so I then inquired why he was sweating so profusely if he was truly innocent.

Similarly, "Why are you sweating?" becomes "why he was sweating." We drop the auxiliary "do/does/did" and use standard subject-verb word order without a question mark.
