Try this

class AdminMiddleware {
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if(Auth::check()){
            if ($request->user()->type != 'Admin'){
                return abort(404);
            }
        }else{
            return abort(404);
        }
        return $next($request);
    }
}

It should check if user is logged in and if so check if hes and admin, if hes not logged in show him the 404

or a shorter version

class AdminMiddleware {
    public function handle($request, Closure $next)
    {
        if(Auth::check() && $request->user()->type == 'Admin'){
            return $next($request);
        }
        return abort(404);
    }
}
