Monk

Hello!
Dialog from "Monk"
- I think they knew the guy.
- What? You know this guy?
- Technically know him. Never met him face-to-face.
- Never formally introduced. Sort of.
- We've been following him.
- You were following him? I wonder why
- Well he was seeing a woman. A married woman. And we were following her.
- You were following the woman. I wonder why.
- Her husband hired us.
- Until you hear different, I wonder why?

What does he mean by that? Why does he use here the word "until"?

This is bizarre dialogue. Was this the actual English words they were saying - or was it a translation subtitle you were reading? This is nothing like natural spoken English...

I think the speaker means "you can assume I am going to continue to say "I wonder why" in response to everything you say."
