In acute triangle $ABC, CA \ne BC$. Let $I$ denote the incenter of triangle $ABC$. Points $A_1$ and $B_1$ lie on rays $CB$ and $CA$, respectively, such that $2CA_1 = 2CB_1 = AB + BC + CA$. Line $CI$ intersects the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ again at $P$ (other than $C$). Point $Q$ lies on line $AB$ such that $PQ \perp CP$. Prove that $QI \perp A_1B_1$.
