In other words, if Bernkastel had chosen Eva, for example, as the detective, then any time that "Erika" was referred to in red, it would refer to Eva! Because "Erika" would be the detective's title, if a new character was chosen by Bernkastel in the Sixth Game, a different character would be able to be called "Erika!" Additionally, what if Bernkastel can switch what piece she controls? Then multiple characters would be able to be referred to as "Erika" even during the course of one game!
(Yes, this causes a contradiction regarding the sealed room in Episode 6, due to the people being sealed inside. But still, it's worth considering, especially since the red is very intriguing in its possible implications)

Well, this is sort of denied in Episode 5 by Lambdadelta when Erika Furudo is introduced:
Furudo Erika had no influence on Beato's games before now. She does not exist in the worlds before this one, nor does she influence them.
Now, it is possible that multiple people could take the title of Furudo Erika (like was proven with Kinzo), however...
Say that Eva is designated as "Furudo Erika" at a certain part, as you say.
Thus, it would be that "Ushiromiya Eva" had no influence on Beato's games before now.
This is a contradiction, so it's safe to assume that Furudo Erika IS a brand new piece and is not simply an alias for another character, even if it changes.
Edit: Plus, it's said in red that the arrival of Erika increases the number of people on the island by one.
