Intersection of Loci and Simultaneous Geometric Conditions

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the two solutions of the quadratic equation $x ^ { 2 } + \sqrt { 3 } x + 1 = 0$, where $0 < \arg \alpha < \arg \beta < 2 \pi$. Consider the complex numbers $z$ satisfying the following three conditions:
$$\begin{cases} \arg \dfrac { \alpha - z } { \beta - z } = \dfrac { \pi } { 2 } & \ldots\ldots\ldots (1)\\ ( 1 + i ) z + ( 1 - i ) \bar { z } + k = 0 & \ldots\ldots\ldots (2)\\ \dfrac { \pi } { 2 } < \arg z < \pi , & \ldots\ldots\ldots (3) \end{cases}$$
where $k$ is a real number.
Let us denote the points on the complex number plane which express $\alpha$, $\beta$ and $z$ by $\mathrm{ A }$, $\mathrm{ B }$ and P.
(1) The arguments of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are
$$\arg \alpha = \frac { \mathbf { A } } { \mathbf { B } } \pi \quad \text{ and } \quad \arg \beta = \frac { \mathbf { C } } { \mathbf { D } } \pi .$$
(2) For each of $\mathbf { E }$ $\sim$ $\mathbf { Q }$ in the following sentences, choose the correct answer from among (0) $\sim$ (9) below.
Since $\mathbf { E } = \dfrac { \pi } { 2 }$ from (1), the point P is located on the circumference of the circle with the center $-\dfrac{ \sqrt{\mathbf{F}} }{ \mathbf{G} }$ and the radius $\dfrac { \mathbf { H } } { \mathbf { I } }$.
On the other hand, from (2), the point P is on the straight line which has the slope $\mathbf{J}$ and passes through a certain point.
From these, we see that when $n$ is the number of complex numbers $z$ which simultaneously satisfy (1), (2) and (3), the maximum value of $n$ is $\mathbf { M }$, and in this case the range of values of $k$ is
$$\mathbf { N } + \sqrt { \mathbf { O } } < k < \sqrt { \mathbf { P } } + \sqrt { \mathbf { Q } }$$
where $\mathbf { P } < \mathbf { Q }$.
