In the midnight

This is not a correct construction in English. The preposition "in" is not used with "midnight."

Instead of saying "in the midnight," it is more appropriate to use the preposition "at" with "midnight."

At the midnight

This is not a correct construction in English. The preposition "at" is used with "midnight," but the article "the" is not necessary.

The correct way to refer to the time of midnight is simply "at midnight," without the article "the."
