I think the implied meaning is that it’s a very clever question and it’s unexpected for someone so young to think of it. So it’s kind of a humblebrag that their daughter is smart.
She could definitely be smart and likely isn’t dumb, but I don’t think this level of thinking is out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.

I’d say it’s also a commentary on the amount of CSI/NCIS type of shows that are so prevalent in entertainment media these last three decades.
Agreed, that’s why I find it weird to be bragging about the age. It could be insulting for the person, and specifically their intelligence.
