Let for any three distinct consecutive terms $a, b, c$ of an $A.P,$ the lines $a x+b y+c=0$ be concurrent at the point $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}(\alpha, \beta)$ be a point such that the system of equations $ x+y+z=6, $ $ 2 x+5 y+\alpha z=\beta$ and $x+2 y+3 z=4$, has infinitely many solutions. Then $(P Q)^2$ is equal to________.
