I don't think "touch in" as a phrasal verb exists. Maybe you mean "get in touch with"?

Hello Guest

Perhaps it's a metaphor from painting. You 'touch something in'
when you suggest e.g. a figure in the background of a picture
with a few quick strokes.

So here it could mean 'make a slight reference to the
brother-in-law'. More than 'imply', but less than 'discuss
openly'.
