Depends on what exactly an "early part of the story" constitutes and whether an Episode is a distinct story when taken by itself.
It's obvious Erika cannot be "the culprit" for any episodes she doesn't feature in, but that can also be because she doesn't exist there, which is said in red during her introduction. But in Episode 5, it is also said that
Furudo Erika is not the culprit. and it's not clear how far does this excuse apply.
So what exactly a culprit is in this series?...
EDIT: Although, Furudo Erika may be the detective, and that wouldn't stop a Piece-Known-As-Erika-In-Red distinct from Furudo Erika from being the culprit...
