Let $ ABCD $ be a cyclic quadrilateral and let $ M $ be the set of incenters and excenters of the triangles $ BCD $, $ CDA $, $ DAB $, $ ABC $ (so 16 points in total). Prove that there exist two sets $ \mathcal{K} $ and $ \mathcal{L} $ of four parallel lines each, such that every line in $ \mathcal{K} \cup \mathcal{L} $ contains exactly four points of $ M $.
