Solution
Let be the circumcenter of , the intersection point of and , and the second intersection point of with (other than ).
Claim. The five points are concyclic.
Proof. Since is the angle bisector of and , it follows that are concyclic. On the other hand, let be the midpoint of on , and let be a point on such that . Then since are concyclic and is a harmonic quadrilateral, we know that
Therefore are collinear, that is, is the angle bisector of , which means are concyclic, and hence the five points are concyclic.

Let be the midpoint of arc (not containing ). By the Claim:
and since and are symmetric with respect to , we have that and are symmetric with respect to . Note that the midpoints of segments are collinear (the Newton line of the complete quadrilateral ); applying a homothety centered at with ratio shows that passes through the reflection of with respect to , hence are collinear. Then by the Claim again:
that is, are concyclic.
