M I am not smart enough to come up with this solution but I have a very naive way to attack this: for every $u\in\mathbb C$, let $S_u$ denote the set of complex numbers $z$ of modulus $1$ such that $\lvert 2u-z\rvert=1$. Then the cardinality of $S_u$ is at most $2$ if $u\neq0$, and $S_{-u}$ is symmetric to $S_u$ with respect to $0$. The result then follows. An obvious geometric interpretation of $S_u$: it is the intersection of the unit circle and the line passing through $u$ and perpendicular to $u-0$.
