Laravel 5.5, Auth::user() not working in Controller.php

I follow the video Multiple Authentication in Laravel 5.4 Natively! (Admins + Users) - Part 1
From part1 to 5, it's all done. Now I can login, logout.
Buy when I want to get the admin's properties, I got problem.

In admin blade, I can use {{ Auth::user()->name }}, it's ok.
In Composer, it's also ok.

<?php

namespace App\Http\ViewComposers;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Auth;

class AdminComposer
{
  /**
   * Create a movie composer.
   *
   * @return void
   */
  public function __construct(Request $request)
  {
    $this->admin= Auth::user();
    $this->base = config('app.url') . '/admin/';

  }

  /**
   * Bind data to the view.
   *
   * @param  View  $view
   * @return void
   */
  public function compose(View $view)
  {
    $view->with('admin', $this->admin);
    $view->with('base', $this->base);
  }
}

Then I try to use View in Controller, there is nothing, and no error message.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\DispatchesJobs;
use Illuminate\Routing\Controller as BaseController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\Access\AuthorizesRequests;
use Auth;

class Controller extends BaseController
{
  use AuthorizesRequests, DispatchesJobs, ValidatesRequests;

  public function __construct()
  {
    $admin = Auth::user();
    echo "<pre>", print_r($admin, 1), "</pre>"; exit;
    if(!empty($admin)){
      View::share('admin', $admin);
    }
  }
}

Why Auth::user() is ok in blades and composer, not working in controller ?

/config/auth.php

'guards' => [
    'web' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'api' => [
        'driver' => 'token',
        'provider' => 'users',
    ],

    'admin' => [
        'driver' => 'session',
        'provider' => 'admins',
    ],
],
'providers' => [
    'users' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Models\User::class,
    ],

    'admins' => [
        'driver' => 'eloquent',
        'model' => App\Models\Admin::class,
    ],
],

Maybe I found the reason. Though still not resolved.

In laravel's Controller.php, it's not working. But in any other controller I created, it's ok

For example, the following is ok.
App\Http\Controllers\Admin\HomeController.php 

public function __construct()
{
  $this->middleware('auth:admin');
  parent::__construct();
}

public function index()
{
  $admin = Auth::user();
  dd(Auth::user());
}

Maybe this is because the middleware.

In other post, someone uses Auth::guard('mrm')->User()
But I do the same, I tried Auth::guard('admin')->User()
Still nothing...

I typically use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth as the pulled in namespace. Try that.

Since Laravel 5.3 you are no longer able to access session in controller constructors, because middleware has not run yet. Authenticating a user, or getting the authenticated user requires session middleware to have already run.

You can define a closure (scroll to "Session In The Constructor") that happens after the session middleware has run.
