Let $C$ be the circle in the complex plane with centre $z_0 = \frac{1}{2}(1 + 3i)$ and radius $r = 1$. Let $z_1 = 1 + i$ and the complex number $z_2$ be outside the circle $C$ such that $|z_1 - z_0| |z_2 - z_0| = 1$. If $z_0, z_1$ and $z_2$ are collinear,then the smaller value of $|z_2|^2$ is equal to $.............$.
