Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a convex quadrilateral, and the points A1(CD)A_1 \in (CD), A2(BC)A_2 \in (BC), C1(AB)C_1 \in (AB), C2(AD)C_2 \in (AD). Let M,NM, N be the intersection points between the lines AA2,CC1AA_2, CC_1 and AA1,CC2AA_1, CC_2 respectively. Prove that if three of the quadrilaterals ABCDABCD, A2BC1MA_2BC_1M, AMCNAMCN, A1NC2DA_1NC_2D are circumscriptive (i.e. there exists an incircle tangent to all the sides of the quadrilateral) then the forth quadrilateral is also circumscriptive.
