How to prove that $I_B,I_C\in (MIN)$ I can prove only $I_BI_CMN$ concyclic

Then from well known fact we have $KA=KI$ but $\angle IAI_C=90^{o}$ so $K$ is midpoint of $II_A$. Similarly $L$ is midpoint of $II_B$. Thus $\Delta KIL \sim \Delta II_BI_C$ with coefficient $\frac{1}{2}$. Thus $R(\Delta II_BI_C) : R(\Delta KIL)=1:2$. But we have $\Delta KIL = \Delta KAL$ thus $R(\Delta KIL) = R(\Delta KAL)= R(\Delta ABC)$ from here we have $R(\Delta II_BI_C) : R(\Delta ABC)=1:2$ thus $R(\Delta MNI) : R(\Delta ABC)=1:2$
