Let $s=\frac{AB+BC+AC}{2}$ be half-perimeter of triangle $ABC$. Let $L$ and $N$be a point's on ray's $AB$ and $CB$, for which $AL=CN=s$. Let $K$ is point, symmetric of point $B$ by circumcenter of $ABC$. Prove, that perpendicular from $K$ to $NL$ passes through incenter of $ABC$. Solution for problem here

Let $I_a,I_b,I_c$ be the excenters of $\triangle ABC$ against $A,B,C.$ Circumcircle $(O)$ and incenter $I$ of $\triangle ABC$ become 9-point circle and orthocenter of $\triangle I_aI_bI_c.$ If $D,E$ denote the tangency points of the excircles $(I_a),(I_c)$ with $CB,BA,$ then $U \equiv DI_a \cap EI_c$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle I_aI_bI_c$ $\Longrightarrow$ $IOU$ is the Euler line of $\triangle I_aI_bI_c,$ thus $\overline{OU}=-\overline{OI}$ $\Longrightarrow$ $BUKI$ is a parallelogram with center $O,$ i.e. $KI \parallel BU \ (*).$ Since $\angle BDU=\angle BEU=90^{\circ},$ it follows that circumcenter $V$ of $\triangle BED$ is the midpoint of $\overline{UB}.$ But, it's clear that $L,N$ are the tangency points of $(I_a),(I_c)$ with $AB,BC$ $\Longrightarrow$ $NL,ED$ are antiparallel WRT $BA,BC,$ since $NLDE$ is an isosceles trapezoid with legs $NL=ED.$ Thus, $BV \perp NL$ and together with $(*),$ it follows that $KI \perp NL.$

Let D mipoint BI, (D) cuts BC, BA at E,F then we need OL^2-ON^2=DN^2-DL^2 so LB(LA-LF)=NB(NE-NB) so LB.AF=NB.EC obviously true by AF=NB, CE=LB so by 4 point lemma we have the conclusion
