The others didn't touch the bed either because they realized that.

It's a ridiculous argument, though. Natsuhi was right there with everyone else. How is insisting that "He's clearly hiding in that obviously empty bed right there!" going to get Natsuhi to do anything other than laugh at her? At the meta level, Erika can say that since she's the detective and she searched everywhere else, Kinzo can only exist in the bed, but that argument doesn't hold any water on the game board. Natsuhi could just claim that Erika missed something during her search.
Besides which, Erika's whole argument is based on the red text that
from midnight until the following morning, Kinzo remained in the same room. But Piece Erika doesn't even know where his corpse is -- if she did, there wouldn't be any need for this farce. Exactly what magical investigation method X did she use to prove that red text on the game board?
tl;dr version: Non-fantasy pieces on the game board don't know about red text and can't use it in their arguments. Therefore, if a scene is presented where red text is used in an argument, that scene is necessarily a fantasy.
